On the topic of the thread i think this year has to may things involved to really pull this off. Making logos, finding the right peaces, navigating the field the list goes on and on. In order for this to happen we need another game like lunacy there the field is open, there are very few goals, very simple strategy, and very few (preferably one) type of game piece.

I for one hope to see this happen one day (or have the chance to try it myself) but i don't think its gonna happen successfully this year. Even if it was pulled off i think i would leave it in the shop and leave the real work to our drivers, autonomous is enough of a burden.
it was a joke referring to the picture they posted
The concept was give me a robot close to what this years will be, and I could play with it all season.

I agree this year is a bit ambitious to accomplish. I think the most difficult part would be avoiding penalties. finding tubes, picking them up, and knowing where to cap them can be done reasonably with off-robot processing using something like open CV
