Re: Programmers: I Have A Challenge For You

I would like this to happen, but here are my 2 issues with this idea. Firstly, how do you track game objects and the areas to score? The program would need to have a serious if statement, or a periodic task to override the game piece searching code from the scoring area track code. We tried something like this recently with epic failure, aka we made a $5,000 doughnut preforming machine. Secondly, the robot would have to be as cunning as a human player to avoid silly penalties, like getting hit while kicking a ball making it go out of bounds.

Those are my little considerations in making our robot completely autonomous next year. I guess it also depends on what the game is next year as well because something like this puts drivers like me out of work. Good luck to those teams attempting this, I'm starting now so this way I'll only be 4 weeks late instead of the usual 5.
