Re: Standard for ball handoff?
So interfacing with an unknown robot with a potentially incompatible transmission device that requires both parties to remain adjacent and relatively motionless and high risk of entanglement/ damage to critical game piece manipulation devices in a location where both robots are free game for ramming and general defense is safer than setting the ball on the ground and driving away for the other team to acquire it? Best of luck to your team.
The last time any "Standardization" of devices was proposed was in 2011 with minibots and minibot deployments. Nobody used that and teams who had spare minibots needed to work around their alliance members to add the bot + deployment + code. This won't work until FRC reaches critical mass with collaborative efforts, at which it wasn't then and it isn't now.
Exchange balls over the common medium, the ground.
