That was my point, having an increased amount of hybrid time means that you have to do something in that time. And a whole minute or so of a robot that can only get info from a kinect means that you are probably gonna want to use the kinect. Id probably want to tell my robot something over the course of a minute. How else do they get people too use a game element? They make it more necessary to succeed.

Though, Im biased, as I am a programmer at heart and would probably rather the whole time be autonomous anyway...
