Re: What would you like on a robot if time, money, or weight weren't a restriction?

Velodyne. Oh wait, motor restrictions... but no money restrictions. A custom Velodyne with a 550 swapped in for the motor.

Fused panoramic cameras

CVTs on the drive motors.

Follower wheels with encoders.

A lot depends on the specific game in question, I think. Fun, and rather informative, thought experiment, though.
