Having 3 robots move in half the space as usual will make this even more difficult, with the risk of having one robot cut off the rest of the alliance and effectively impeding all possible scoring chances.
Also, for people who are participating in the challenge, it's worthy to note that if a team isn't coming with a preprogrammed hybrid mode, they probably don't have the IR board attached. So unless you have and are willing to lend extra IR boards + remotes, the program will have to be just a simple "go straight".

I agree about the collision. I fear this year more from my teammates than opponents. I would suggest that everyone should at least try to go forward and get the four points.

So I suggest that the go forward for four points have a delay of at least one second. We will hopefully have a significant hybrid mode and would appreciate not being hit. But at the same time we would appreciate having the extra points from our partners without hitting our robot.

So help evaryone get the four points and not be moving, but include a delay.
