Re: Fully autonomous robots?
A completely autonomous game will never take off. Rookies would be lost. Veterans would be lost. But a combo can be done. Heres what the incentive needs to be:
1. Double points for every score autonomously.
Thats it. However, the robot would have to be entirely autonomous th entire match, or impose a rule that it must navigate from a specific area and score autonomously to get double points. That way, a team can't line up, hit a button, and call it autonomous. The way to ensure the team is doing it autonomously is to have a button that enables a separate automode. You can turn it off anywhere and regain human control, but you can't turn it back on until the robot is back in that specific area.
