Re: Future FRC Technologies?

Advanced vision systems

A while back, I saw a team who was using a KickStarted LIDAR camera to do their vision. While I think there are some very powerful things you can do with just a camera, having a full 360 view, with depth sensing of the entire field would be an awesomely powerful resource.

More automated scoring

This is less for teams use, but to stop the "Ref, I'm SURE I went over those ramparts! I swear!". This ties into your field view idea, which could help, but frankly, as much as we all love our local refs, no one is perfect. This of course depends on the game,too. A fully auto scored game would be useful, refs just to catch fouls.
