Re: Does anyone else think this game will not be as good as I imagine it might be?

You know one challenge I see is autonomous mode. Due to close proximity and common goal robots will need some pretty good object avoidance systems or else we'll have robots bumping into each other like it was a mosh pit. Also I'm a little worried about how soft these balls are, I can just see one getting under a bot and messing with its maneuverability. That said, can't say I wont enjoy helping to design the system we make to overcome these issues.

mmmhmm I imagine it will be hard to see the line and thats one line I definitely don't want to cross. Maybe an IR warning system would be in order.
