Re: RoboMasters

One thing I rather like is the idea of having one robot that is fully autonomous. It's a nice middle ground between keeping the human element a part of the game, maintaining entertainment, while giving teams the opportunity to significantly improve their capabilities through some innovation in software.

I think it would be cool if something similar was implemented in FRC, possibly some non roborio based "minibot" that one member of an alliance could decide to deploy, similar to how the kinect was handled in 2012.

Of course the implementation would be awful to deal with I imagine, since it would need to be simple enough not to put strain on teams to buy more components such as an expensive roborio while still being integrated into the FMS.

It's an interesting idea and it seems to work for robomasters since I actually rather enjoyed watching the 2016 finals. The devil is in the details.
