It'd still be cool though.

I was saying that a system like the one I described would be more or less for the cool factor and to push the envelope rather than to gain a substantial advantage. As far as Lunacy is concerned it'd be pretty pointless because most autonomous modes are random. Maybe one advantage that a system like I described would have is that the robot could "predict" where a target would be and only look in that direction, should it be tracking a target. Perhaps in a game with a different style of autonomous mode this would have some sort of large advantage.
