2004 Game

[JP_1163]

A few ideas from a novice FIRST'er (2 years)
1. The autonomous mode will stay and may increase as the game/years goes on. This forces programmers and builder/designers to work together (team building).

2. If the 2x2 format stays then the idea could be that each team member must do a particular job in autonomous mode before the "game" can begin. This could include moving, stacking, grasping, climbing, etc. Unless and until both teams completed the initial "task" the alliance is moot ( I can hear the screaming now).

3. Provide multiple problems within a game (on one side of the field) for 30-60 seconds (more autonomous mode) and then allow some sort of inter-alliance competition for the last 60-90 seconds (human play)

Just my thoughts. No offense intended or implied to any other poster or team.
