Fully autonomous matches are kind of a bummer for the drive team, too.

I agree that few if any teams could field an effective fully auton robot given the 6 week build, But if there was a side competition - say, in mid-December, using 'last year's' rules, some teams might make a pretty good go of it. The biggest issue I see is that those teams would be spread far & wide, making an actual competition an expensive proposition (=travel) for most of them.

Hmmm, maybe next year at IRI there could be a few fully autonomous Breakaway matches?
