Re: Autonomous Mode

Don't be so sure that lack of knowledge of field position will keep them from moving auton. In the real world, autonomous robots have to operate based on one thing: sensor input. My guess is that if they do indeed change the timing of user/auton modes, the objects on the field will have some way to give good sensor input. However, seeing that we have these brand new microprocessors to learn, I don't think they'll throw another big programming trick our way this season......
