This is my only speculation post in this thread as well.
Yeah, robot-robot communication would be a fun challenge. I definitely believe FIRST is going to make it something that takes advantage of the new system dramatically, while still making the game as easy or hard as you want it to be, as in '08, where you could have just driven laps if you wanted.

Point is, it won't be something that would make every team do a ridiculous challenge. That said, however, it might be a ridiculous challenge for one of the alliance members.

Maybe the robots will be able to have variable amounts of communication, the more communication you have, the more possible points.

There are so many separate ideas that I can't even write what I want to say. Let's just take all the ideas, put them together and shuffle the words. Whatever comes out of that will be the consensus.
