Re: Next Years Game?

Autonomous will be harder next year. Longer? Hopefully not (Unless they make hte matches longer.) I say this because all of the excitement is in the humans driving.

So autonomous will be harder. What will it entail? I believe something LIKE infared, but it would have ot be revamped. Why? Because a lot of teams had trouble even with good programming. There was too much interference.

A water match WOULD be fun. But just a minor leak and BAM you could fry your bot's brain (Unless the water were distilled. However stuff comes in on the bots themselves and after even one match, the water would be contaminated.)

I would guess that eventually teams would have to use gyro sensors, like those in a Segway. How soon? No idea. But I can deffinitely see a game in the future that relies on balencing, and having those sensors being super helpful.

Aside from that, I cna't guess exactly what we'll be doing. There are simply too many directions you can go with something like this.
