Then you open the bottle or can & pour it's contents into a reservoir on your robot. ( Side note: if the machines only serve bottled water, there's your long-anticipated water game). Then the bots place the empty bottle/can in the RECYCLE BIN! An added benefit is the exhausted drive team can drink the contents of the reservoir at the end of the match. |
I highly doubt that Mr.Kamen would allow something like that. DEKA has always been neutral in FIRST and has never had projects that influence the game. The GDC (Game Design Committee) would not take a DEKA project and involve it in the game due to not having sufficient knowledge as they are two separate entities and Mr.Kamen would highly oppose it.
