Re: What will be the next technical growth leap for the average team?
GPS. All you need is a few sources of signal.
The FMS system provides one signal source. Being able to lock onto a few more (cell phones?), and you could have a pretty good estimation of where you are on the field.
Working around R68 would be needed - no form of wireless communication to, from, or within the robot. Visible spectrum and non-RF sensors are allowed. With RF being 3 kHz to 300 GHz, you could try to make something outside of that range to send a time mark.
For this year's Airship, we are working on Doppler Radar, however, we don't see that as being useful for future games.
