 The best way to get to Einstein is to analyze the game, figure out which three robots would make up the ideal Einstein alliance, and then design, build, iterate, and polish the one that best matches your teams' capabilities. - Jared Russell [more] |

Re: pic: Game hint
OK. I'll speculate as to what I believe this will be used for.
 Many of us are assuming that there will be an autonomous mode because there has been an autonomous mode for the last few years. This year, I believe that instead of an autonomous mode there will be a timeframe (say 45 of the 135 seconds in a match) in which the drivers line of sight to the robot will be blocked (some sort of removable/droppable screen) and that the driver will only be able to navigate via a IR sensor grid, with 1 emitter in each corner of the field. Since the viewing angle is only 60 degrees (+/- 30 degrees) there would be no overlap, and since the signal strength is proportional to how 'on axis' you are it would be fairly easy to navigate to a spot on the field. Thoughts? .
