Not the song I was thinking of, but... ok, that'll do!!! lol

Our plan is simple.

Simple, but effective.

We used neural nets to train our system to the point of unbeleivable accuracy, so we're sure this will work.

First, the robot will use a couple scanners to locate the balls, and a CCD system combined with Sherlock will locate the judge.

Next, the death laser shall stem forth in a glorious green light, and eliminate any judges.

With lack of judging, we should easily be declared the winner of our match. Especially if we point to the laser.

Yeah, I'm still concerned about the power draw on the battery because of the laser. 20 Amp-hours dosn't seem like quite enough, and that cold fusion power design I was working on this afternoon didn't seem to quite be up to what I would call "working". On the upside, I did find a cure for cancer. I think the judges wouldn't notice if we added 2 more batteries, especially if they were dodging the laser/vaporized.

For those of you who are still in debate, would you mind posting what you plan on doing once you figure it all out?

Thanks

i have little idea of what we are doing... but i think we are going to try to knock both over and hope the mover goal is on our side. and get that once autonomous is over... but thats just a guess from what ive seen =D

EMP or vacuum.

We're still undecided, but we're leaning towards the vacuum.

Either we will make a gross dozen KK donuts, we will use the topsy turvy gun from Armed and Dangerous, or we will use our computing power of our controller to do SETI@home.

Autonomous? What's autonomous? Awwww, I guess our robot is just gonna spin around in a circle firing rockets into the crowd killing innocent people. Sigh, back to the drawing board.

Can we please get some serious imput (though I do like my fun and games (see above posting))?
