Wow! A Kinect completely changes the game for the autonomous time. When I participated it didn't seem like many robots used the time to its fullest potential. In fact, many just sat there because they focused on other abilities instead. I wonder if the robot controller supports other languages now.
- dws 15y agoWhether the Kinect is a game changer or a distraction remains to be seen. A well-coded bot can do quite well already in autonomous mode, even when there's contention for a goal (in this case, the 3 point hoop).
- ja27 15y agoIt's like that in FIRST Tech Challenge (the "JV" level of FRC). Unless the team somehow ends up with a kid that loves programming or has FIRST LEGO League alumni (their game is all pre-programmed autonomous), a lot of teams have little or no autonomous mode.
