Re: Next Year's Game?

Cameras are severely limited in how much they can help your vision. First, they only see straight ahead of them. This prevents you from knowing where the rest of the teams are. Also, would you have to have a separate camera for scoring purposes? Then there would have to be another screen for each team to look at so they can tell where the scoring device is. If not, vision for scoring would be poor and scoring would be limited in general. Another limitation is that of defense. If you can't see the other robots, there is no way to stop them from scoring. In my opinion, using only a camera for vision would take some of the excitement of the game and is not worth the added challenge that it presents.
