Indeed. I think FIRST has taken an interesting risk this year with giving us programmers the first 15 seconds of the game. In some of the posts on the general forum, people seem to be agreeing that a well programmed robot can basically decide the game in that time period. I also think that the light sensors are going to be a bit trickier to work with than everyone is giving them credit for. I wouldn't call any of the robots that my team has built over the last few years precision machines, and you are going to need quite a bit of precision to get your robot to move around based on light sensor readings and perform accurate movements while completely automated. Despite the challenges though, I am absolutely thrilled that the people at FIRST are giving us this opportunity. As my team's main programmer, this change is going to make the season a whole lot more exciting for me.
