Coopertition Idea - Hybrid

[apalrd]

-How do you know what their robot will be capable of?
-How do you know what their sensors will be like?
-How do you know if they're capable of handling balls, and if so how will you handle robot-specific configurations of ball handlers?
-How do you know if they're capable of lowering the ramp, and if so how will you know how to handle robot-specific configurations of ball handlers?
-How do you know that they develop in LabVIEW?
-How do you know that they will let you do this?


The only time I ever wrote autonomous software for another team during a competition was 2010, when we programmed our partner to block the tunnel against 469. That took a solid block of time of me working with them on the practice field to develop and tune a basic time-based program which moved their (mecanum) robot in two steps, and that was a very easy target (they had to get the corner of their robot into the tunnel, while sitting a foot or two away, with a very large margin for error).

I will say it's not possible. Too many variables, not enough time on their robot.
