Re: Fully autonomous game

I would argue there is a high level of useful automation that can be done. Human beings are certainly not better PID controllers than the robot in a lot of cases. Can they control multiple system at once? How would they control flywheel speeds? etc...

In terms of positioning, if FIRST really wanted teams to solve that problem a great solution (stolen from robocup) is an overhead camera feed that all teams have access too. Robots would each be required to have a distinctive shape somewhere on the top with a distinctive color pattern so that each could be identified.
