Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
I'm not sure if this has been thrown out there before, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't on the first 22 pages.

What if the IR directs (not receives) autonomous mode- you have to position your robot facing a transmitter and it will receive some code which it has to execute? I'm not a programmer so I have no idea if this is feasible at all.

I also like the maze idea. Hearing about the stuff on the Hancock Building, it might even be an obstacle course. Perhaps instead of IR boundaries as originally suggested (I'm building off of the above idea) you again receive the instructions which will blindly control the robot through part or all of the maze? But then the drivetrain would have to be standardized...
