Go to Post Look at the success of the Banebot's gearboxes this year. Cheap, light, small, and a lot of people are using them, even though their quality may be a bit questionable... Make a similar gearbox for a drivetrain (with a bit more robustness) and I think you've got a winner. - Ben Piecuch [more]

If we could cordinate and make a 3D model of the competition area, and then use modified StangPS software to pick out check points for the robot to go to, I think that it could work. Granted making a 3D model that big would take some time and some major rendering power, but combined with the Software, it just may work.
Now...about the idea of mapping out the field in advance....the problem with that is they will not give you the data for the route that you must follow until 2 hours prior to the starting time. That data includes checkpoints, route boundaries and other such stuff that must be followed on penalty of disqualification.

We're going to need a system that is flexible enough to actively respond to obstacles, to modify its behavior to accomodate whatever parameters we recieve
