Re: pic: Game hint

I'm thinking more along the lines of one bot synching operations with another. Here is the scenerio - Two aliance bots approach object to move together, 1st bot would be in Master mode, 2nd bot would be in Slave mode. Both bots go to pick up / move object and Master bot sends a sync signal to Slave bot via IR so both lift mechanisms operate simultaneously. This way you can get coordinated lifts, provided of course that the lift mechanisms operate at the same rate. In a similar manner both bots could be synched to move at the same time or operate two seperate field targets at the same instant to open gates, doors, etc... This would be slick and make the collaboration hints valid. Remember what FIRST was trying to teach in 2007. What will your opponent / alliance member build and how can you accomodate / defend against it.
