Did Anyone Accept the Challenge?

I personally think it is more than doable; the teams just need to have a very expandable and scalable engine. That will take a long time. But once you have the engine, I believe it is doable in 6 weeks. My worry is using too much funds for such goals. I don't want to put a cap on how much the other departments can use for the robot. The sensors do not pay for themselves.

My other worry is: "Woop dee doo, you have a fully autonomous robot; what is the big deal?" Programmers would be impressed; no one else would be. It mostly is a public statement to even have autonomy. The drive team was mostly seniors, and a sophomore and I will be the only ones left next year. I don't think drive team would mind.

Third, it seems like a very selfish goal. I am purposely choosing NOT to be the team captain next year for the fear that I would turn out to be a dictator and drag the team down with me. I am nominating someone else on purpose.

Oh and BTW, I love your signature Mr. Mike
