Re: Hybrid Challenge-No Robot Left Behind

I think that this is a great idea for the learning experience. However, I personally won't be participating(my programming skills...suck). I just wanted to say that the complication of just saying "go straight" is that not all robots go in a perfectly straight line. Having 3 robots move in half the space as usual will make this even more difficult, with the risk of having one robot cut off the rest of the alliance and effectively impeding all possible scoring chances.
Also, for people who are participating in the challenge, it's worthy to note that if a team isn't coming with a preprogrammed hybrid mode, they probably don't have the IR board attached. So unless you have and are willing to lend extra IR boards + remotes, the program will have to be just a simple "go straight".
