Re: Is hybrid valuable?

It will be useful to prevent the loser of the "Battle of the Bridge" from tipping over completely. It may be useful to select different autonomous modes (stand in place, go to fender, delay, go to colored bridge, go to white bridge). It's probably useful as a direct range-finding camera on-board the robot (subject to the extra necessary resources).

Had we received the Kinect pre-season, I think we'd see more teams using it. Yet for this year, we felt it was a distraction outside of the above scenarios.
