How are teams planning for the possibility that a second or third robot is going to "Aim High" during autonomous? A lot of alliance talk is needed before a match but how do the robots keep from hitting each other?

I have been thinking about this a lot

We are planning on using lots of sensors and hope to develop a collision aviodance system so that we can navigate in autonomous with lots of crashing and still get to the position we want on the field!

I mentored 3 FLL teams this fall, and learned a lot about senors using those mindstorm kits! So I am hoping we can use that knowledge here too!

Great Idea you have there, I hope lots of teams make really cool Autonomous mode robots this year !!!
