Re: Next Year's Game?
I'd love to see a game where teams could leave their robot in autonomous mode as long as they want (and change it to teleoperated at any time) gaining a bonus for the duration in autonomous (something on the lines of 1 bonus point for every 6 full seconds in autonomous) and once they set the robot into teleoperated they cannot go back into autonomous.
During autonomous, all inputs from the driver station, except the e-stop and the autonomous/teleoperated switch, would be disabled (including any inputs from an attached PC).
There should be some sort of visual indicator that the robot is in autonomous (such as a green lamp).
This would allow for up to 20 bonus points (assuming we still play 2 minute matches) but would restrict that to what was programmed into software. It would also allow teams to make deccisions, and take controll of their robots, if they saw that the strategy needed to change.
