Since late on kickoff day, I've been convinced that automation of alignment is the key to getting from the "also ran" to the "going to championshps" level. If you have any sensors that can help you find game pieces, use them! if not, and if you have a practice 'bot, figure out how you can add these at competition.

Your idea is so out-of-the-box that I'd love to see you do well. Speed to pickup, whether due to driver practice or programming, will get you there.
