Smile Re: [Official 2008 Game Design] New Technology Discussions

1. I liked the arena cameras from AIM High that counted the balls as they went through the lower goals. Maybe for 2008 we could have game peices that were scored this same way, or maybe through RFID.
2. Using the CMU camera having the robot score a particular color game peice during autonomous for a bonus, where the color is sent to the robot from the compition port at the start of the round.
3. Ultrasonic distance sensors would be nice to measure distances to a goal or other objects in the arena.
