It would be complicated and difficult but exciting and rewarding. It might be risky for competition but the potential rewards in competition are great. If, say, it were suggested that 179 and 180 do this I would back it.
I think it might be neat if for a game year, a way of scoring would be to actually HAVE to interface with another robot. It would be an optional thing and FIRST would supply the interface specification so that it would be standard among all robots. Perhaps at the start of the match you would start with a little game piece, and instead of the "get a robot on the ramp at the end of the game", you would have "get your starting game piece transferred onto another robot via the interface before the end of the game"

On a different note, I'm still trying to figure out how interface collaboration between teams at different regionals makes any sense at all...
Yeah, another 15-30 minutes of thought about how to word the poll would have done me good. In fact, I had at least another 10 minutes of thought in it, but I apparently accidentily submitted it early.
