Re: [Official 2005 Game Design] Autonomy Discussions
I have doubts about autonomy...
For instance this year, to make the game more enthusiastic to the fans and spectators, say a bot removes the ball in auto. as soon as the ball is released have drivers take control. not wait another 3-5 seconds for the balls to fall. Limit the time to 10 seconds. This way there is more excitement for outside viewers.
Not to say this year was an awesome year with teams like WPI(190), The Riot Crew(58), and teams like Buzz(175) had awesome auto. modes that were exciting to watch.
I think FIRST should step back and evaluate the good that auto is doing. Gauranteed It was always a Build/driver robot, and the controls teams usually did'nt have that much of a part in it. However, its been two years, and I have yet to see some major accomplishments in the programming.
just my $.02
