Re: [Official 2007 Game Design] Autonomy And Other Technology Discussions
Once in awhile when I'm bored in the offseason, I find a battle-bot type TV show to watch, hey it's not FRC, but it fixes my robot crave. The type of robots on that show that always get my attention are the smaller robots that come out of a "Mothership" if we could ever have a game/technology that would allow for that to happen it'd make for a very intresting season no matter what type of task you threw at us. Drive teams would need to be expanded so more and more people can get involved with the operation of the robot instead of the traditional 4 man drive team (Possibly would help for a lot more of students getting involved, even in smaller schools).

The biggest obstical in trying that out would be in getting the technology in the KOP that would allow for it. If that ever happened, it'd be a fantastic season, maybe Vex Equipment could be used for the Daughter bots, only the GDC would know the answer to that question.
