That has oh so many uses, the autonomous possibilities (not to mention operator controlled with the shooters this year) are endless!
That could get minorly dangerous and not so graciously professional... considering in this game, robots could've then shot balls at each other... not that pushing each other over is much better but still... locking on to other robots could have positive and negatives, depending how it is executed.
