Re: Back to balls.

And if the game had multiple colors of balls, as metioned earlier (in this thread, i think), then sweeping a path for the bots to get on and off would make the auton worse than just random placement would. If you need to put only blue balls into your bin, but you don't know where you start, or where your bin is, you could at least still know what color balls are around you (assuming one color of balls per side, always). However, If your start position is know, but the ball color isn't, then you know where you are and where to go, but not what to pick up, which is by far the hardest thing to do in autonomous mode.
