Re: Future Autonomous Mode

Your post has started me thinking (congrats on a successful post )

I think it would interesting to have an "autonomous zone" on the field, perhaps surrounding the place where the robots have to go to score or to acquire game pieces, wherein the robots have to operate fully autonomously. There's always the concern raised of making the game accessible to rookie teams/teams with limited resources, so perhaps there would be lower-point scoring opportunities elsewhere on the field, but in order to get the "big points," autonomous functionality would be required.
