Re: Please fix auto

It is very obvious that in most recent games, a lack of a nicely-optimized autonomous mode is much less costly than a lack of a nicely-optimized manipulator. Veteran teams have dedicated programmers who can handle more. If 75% of teams don't want to bother allocating enough resources to software, then of course they should be penalized. This is robotics, not RC-car building.
