Re: 2 gear autonomous

Is it possible? Perhaps. Is it really worth it? Probably not. It's much easier to cheesecake a gear holder onto a pushbot rather than come up with a complex auto that drops off a gear, finds and picks up another one, and then navigates back to the peg within about 10 sec (it takes a bit of time to get the gear on and start up the rotor). It's much easier on the human players and the robots if three robots are placing one gear each.
