For the FRC game next year, since in Atlanta last year they announced that there was going to be some add-ons like temperature sensors, it should be something where all the robots on one alliance can communicate to each other, since that was an original specification in the control system, and you have to use the camera, and each driver for a team has an individual curtain.

Then you have to use your laptop, connected to the DS, and look through the robot's eyes, and scout out (from the opposite side of the field to tear down your curtain) if done in autonomous you get bonus points of course, and most importantly the curtains would have to be a color the robot can track. Once teleop starts the curtains all are dropped, and then the object is turned into capture the flag, where robots are required to get the opponents curtains (each alliance would have to have a different colored curtain of course). Then robots would have to go and take the opponents curtains to their side, and of course, your alliance could take them back to your own side. Whoever had the most curtains on their side of the field would win.

Side Note: robots would all have to have some kind of tagging thing, like a 'tagging stick', where the robots held it (it wouldn't be long, maybe a 1/2 foot, 6 inches) and if the robot was able to tag the opponent on their side of the field with the stick, some point deduction would be evaluated. So it would require a sense of dodging and tactical driving skill. No human players, other then the drivers of the robots, and the coaches behind the driver would be included. There would also would be a portion of the field called the 'dead zone' where no tagging happens, but your robot couldn't stay their for a long duration without getting a penalty, unless it was deactivated.
