Re: Please fix auto

Once we go to the Championship event and see more than 70% (and even that's a weak number) of the robots even just move during auto will I even begin to think that auto mode is too easy for FRC teams.

The FRC GDC has tried "more complex" automodes... In 2005, nobody [in an actual competition match] actually capped the center goal in auto mode. Now whether that was because teams weighed the time and effort verses the benefit and determined it wasn't necessary...or it was a very hard task...is a different argument.
