Yet I also have circled teams who've hung 1 in the last 5 straight auto modes and that # is 7, so I figure I'm not too far off. Even if it's 10-15, it seems low for what we should see at the championships -- especially for an autonomous mode that's nearly identical (if not easier) than what we saw 4 years ago.
2011 is absolutely easier than 2007 in terms of scoring in autonomous. And this is coming from someone who scored in autonomous in 2007 and not in 2011.

2007's goal would be re-oriented randomly, with three axes of freedom, before each match and had only one viable sensing option, which was a someone difficult to use camera tracking. Not to mention the scoring rack itself would shake when contacted by a robot. Dead reckoning autonomous codes would sometimes work, but were very low%. 2011 has a stationary target, no opponent interference (there were teams that would bumrush the other side of the field in auto in 07), and multiple sensing options.
