The fact that it is difficult to drive someone else's robot is what would make that aspect of the game a good one to implement. Dean is talking about how FIRST does an excellent job of teaching children what its like to be an engineer. Look at the Segway - the ultimate in intuitive design. In this modern world of computers and cell phones, there is a huge need to make technology simple enough for the common person to be able to use it.

Granted, I still don't think that it will be done this year, simply because there would be too many problems such as "Your team broke my robot!" along with the previously mentioned fact that fumbling around is not good for publicity. It is a fun idea, none the less.

P.S. Brandon, Segway isn't in the spell checker's vocabulary!
