Dear GDC,

Having kids move from FLL to FTC to FRC is a great idea. At the moment it is executed quite well for builders, with each new level getting progressively harder. But any programmer moving from these two programs, which present a good coding challenge, into FRC would be most unhappy to take a step down into the autonomous mode of FRC. There is so much more capability in the FRC system, but no real value in innovating beyond an encoder and a gyro, or even in getting the hours to properly tune a dead reckoning program. If autonomous required real autonomous thinking instead of dead reckoning, and/or if autonomous was more important, then it would be truly enjoyable.

Please make autonomous fun for us ex-FTC programmers!

Regards,

Lemiant
