That wasn't quite what I was going for. As waialua359 has pointed out in other threads, hybrid modes that are most likely to be successful are ones that take a minimal amount of input from the robocoach, perhaps solely at the start. As you point out, complete autonomy is at the mercy of the other robots. The limitations of the IR system reported by other teams indicate that full teleoperation will be problematic, too. Successful hybrid modes will be truly hybrid, and this is shaping up to be a pretty intense challenge. It will take a great deal of learning and planning, both now and at the regionals, to ensure that no robot is left behind.
