Some how I see a camera like that a little too expensive for the Kit of Parts. Not to mention since half or less of teams got the camera working with just a green light, it would probably be even worse dealing with a more complicated camera.
On the note of heat sensors, why not bring back the current sensors? I'm pretty sure they were included in the 2004 KOP. LCDs would be nice, but they'd need something so we could output effectively to it.
Defense was actually something I liked about autonomous this year. I want to watch the "superb" autonomous modes out there not only score effectively, but compensate for the interference of another robot and still score effectively.
In 2005 they should have increased the overall time a little, but that was by far the most difficult task for autonomous (this year had a stationary target). This year was good though. I think as long as a reasonable time is found for the task every year then things are good for difficulty.
