Hi All,
With regard to autonomy, I just want to clarify. Of course no-one is advocating that entire rescue missions should be fully autonomous, as an overall concept, for all the aforementioned reasons.
However, the proposal on the table is that a repetition in the lane must be completed fully autonomously to be awarded the 4x multiplier. Assistive functions are not eligible for the 4x multiplier if they require the operator to touch the controls during the repetition.
Assistive functions would be rewarded by the benefit they bring in terms of speed, and, if they enable the team to operate with degraded communications, the proposed 2x multiplier (see other thread for discussion).
Cheers!
