Re: No official FIRST game hint yet??

wow autonomous at the end?
that'd be reali hard/weird/complicated.
cuz ud hafta know where you are in order to do stuff, so in order to do ur autonomous right, everyone would be scrambling at the end of not-autonomous to get to where they need to be. (itd also then be hard to not block other ppls bots when you know where they need to get...just sorta be right where they need to be... la dee da )
but then, if you're NOT where you need to be, who knows where you're bot would end up if it just did what it'd normally do... (course a good programmer would make an override switch that the driver could flip right before non-auto mode ends so that nothing happens , for fear of running your bot into other things...)
also, what if some bots were broken but still ran, or piled on top of each other cuz one fell over, and they went to do what they wanted to do during autonomous!
no, i dont think they'd have autonomous be at the end after some non-auto time. esp after only having auto mode at all for a couple of years!
my opinion anyway

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
