best technical feature at GLR

imho:

Wildstang's guidance system. I watched a match where in autonomous mode the robot hit a wall that it wasn't supposed to hit, corrected itself, climbed the ramp, knocked over some bins, and got into a position where it could defend a human player stack. Three things were obvious to me:

1. This robot knew where it was
2. This robot knew where it wanted to go
3. This robot had the means to get there

wow
