Re: Future of Autonomous Mode

I like what Fizman said, having auto mode get u points directly if you could do a certain task.

As far as complexity, I think we are good for what we need to do. For now, it is only a 15 second run. Teams struggle getting that to work right. For FIRST, all you really need is consistency in what you do, no complexity. If you think about the DARPA Grand Challenge, those teams had everything they could want at their disposal, yet no one completed the race.

The FIRST matches are hard enough for people to make decisions, I think it would take some of the fun (and defintitely most of the pre-match strategy) out of it if the computer made all the decisios(if it even could). Thats my two cents.
