The easiest way to standardize function between robots is to look at the rigid constraints (i.e. the field) and then work to replicate them. This year, the constraints most relevant seem to be:

- Inbounder Station

- Floor

- Remote Human Player (Not necessarily different from the Inbounder)

For the purpose of standardization, if you were to, in theory, make some part of your robot or it's function appear to be no different than one of those field areas/functions from a robot's perspective, then any machine designed with that field part in mind, shouldn't have any issues interfacing with your machine.

All of that said, the logic isn't flawless by any means, but I'd be willing to bet that if you designed your robot to feed another robot as if it were being fed from an inbounder or remote human player, you'd be hard-pressed to find a team that wouldn't be able to figure out how to work with you.
