Re: New Team Not Using Camera

Nope, Mike, you are exactly correct. In my earlier post, it would have been more accurate of me to say that the ALLIANCE should not sit and do nothing during the autonomous period. Based on the capabilities of the other robots in the alliance, having your robot sit and count NO-OPS for 15 seconds may be the exact right thing to do.

However, you should also be prepared for the inverse case and the occasional alliance pairings where your robot will be the strongest member of the alliance. In such situations, making the strategic decision during the build period to not implement any type of autonomous capability will come back to haunt you. Even if you are not going to use the camera system, it seems that you would always want to at least build in one of the simpler capabilities. Having the option to use (or not use) those capabilities during the autonomous period would always be to your advantage.
