Right now I am playing with the idea of trees and graphs, backed by a decision making architecture.

Right now when i look at these scripts, they seem to be good for individual maneuver but maybe not for a graph of maneuvers. Then again I may just be reading into it wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but It seems like the transitions for the state machine still need to be defined within the code.

The beauty of software is that it can do whatever you tell it to do. No, wait, that's the CURSE of software. I suppose it's both.

The method outlined in the presentation is just a way to command a sequence of events. However, it wouldn't be that complicated to put decision making into the system. I've thought of one simple scheme to make it happen with a simple change.

Once again, it's just a method of organization, and it's only a starting point. Have fun with it.
