- $$$, and the rules about it
I do foresee, though, more automation this year. Especially with "Montana", I expect many robots will attempt at autonomous aiming. (I doubt many humans trying to aim a launcher will have very good accuracy.) |
Who says our controller has to be used? I think an offboard controller, communicating with the IFI controller at a decent speed would be sufficient.
- It would not have to be nearly as complex as The Grand Challenge. They were traveling 130 miles through a desert at speeds of 35mph. All our robot would have to do is stay on the offensive side of the field, and avoid ramming into walls.
- Offboard controller.
- A decent proximity sensor, with a couple foot range, would cost you about $25. For added accuracy, you can have a small array of these.
