Autonomous: CMUCam or dead reckoning?

[Andrew Blair]

We weren't thinking about grabbing more than 1 tetra during an autonomous period. We're pretty strapped as far as programmers go, having none of them, and myself and another team member have taken it upon ourselves to do. I was considering the value of programming and using the CMUCam cam vs. simply using dead reckoning, not considering the possibility of an occasional bump. I'm pretty sure, except if an alliance partner goes haywire, that a calculated strike like the one you metioned would be penalized by the officials. I'm not sure about in autonomous, but the offensive high speed ramming is in the rules for the human controlled period.
