Programmers: I Have A Challenge For You

[Jetweb]

This is something I have been toying with for the last few years and in certain games it would defiantly be possible to do in 6 weeks. last year we were able to track a trailer in full motion, track orbit balls, and using a current sensor on our intake roller we could count how many balls were in our basket. and if i was allowed to put 4 sonar sensors on we would have attempted a full auto match at an off season (the drive team would never go for this in a real match)

Things to note:
- we were only able to get code to this level because we had a complete practice bot by week 3 and worked on it right up to our regional (and through our 2 competitions), which i think would be critical in trying to program something as complicated as a fully autonomous robot

- 79 made an awesome obstacle avoidance program using (i believe) 3 sonars at bumper level, which shows that real time obstacle avoidance is very possible without complicated LIDAR or anything like that.

- it is also very helpful to have a good mentor as previously noted.

Even if it doesn't work i have fun trying to figure out how to do it every year and if other people were trying as well I would be even more motivated to try and pull it all together.
