Re: Auto mode 2007

There is no rule requiring anyone to use a camera for auto mode. Although I'm sure some teams will have a great deal of success with it there are many other inexpensive ways of determining the location of an object. Infra-red is one that we've experimented with and had poor success (the IR light reflects away from the sensor on the shiny diamond plate at anything other than almost exactly 90 degrees) so we've moved on.

It won't, however, be a simple task. I expect on Thursday morning in Portland (first weekend regional, practice day) hardly anyone will score in auto, and by Saturday afternoon in Toronto (last weekend, finals) at least 2/3 robots on each alliance will be scoring.

It is great fun to see the level of competition rise every week as teams gain and share experience.

Jason
