If you have any influence, please use it to encourage the GDC to devise the next FRC game so that it favors robots that can perform some simple autonomous reaction to a game element or to another robot.
I don't have a good idea right now of how to do that.
Maybe something involving accelerometers built into the bumpers, so that robots would react like parts of a pinball machine?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
