Why not follow the bumpers based on their alliance colors and numbers?
Then again, as you mentioned, there is a slight chance of bumpers falling off...

We have a sub group working on implementing the idea of tracking robots on the field based on their bumpers, and from that gather data (how fast, etc) and put it onto an onboard database. With the collected data, we'd be able to either send it to our scouting database(after the match), or somehow have the robot use it to make decisions on whether to avoid/confront opposing forces in future matches... I know I didn't elaborate much at all on the implementation, mostly because we've just started gathering up ideas on doing so. We'll definitely be using a second onboard processor like a Raspberry Pi running Open CV for probably one camera(which is still up in the air on what to use). So yeah, probably won't have it fully operational for this season but probably next season, unless anyone would like to collaborate

Re: Complete Autonomous Robot

This idea has come up several times.

I think it's an interesting off-season project if focused around how many points can our robot score during a match without any driver interaction. Kind of like how VEX does their Autonomous skills challenge.

However, I don't think that it will ever be a good idea to go into a build season with this as your goal. If you're excited about autonomous operation, use that to make your human controlled robot better and have your robot's autonomous mode be the best in FRC.

Re: Complete Autonomous Robot

Udacity has a class taught by Sebastian Thrun on how to program a self-driving car. This class would be a good start if you really want to learn how to make an autonomous robot. Here is the link to the class.
