I agree, I just think part of the key advantage of a practice field is being able to adjust and look at things as they happen instead of just plowing through 2 minutes without knowing exactly what's going on.
For example, if you are jammed- you want to be able to freeze time, run out to the robot and see EXACTLY what's going on. Ditto for 30 point climbers who want to see why a hook won't latch, etc.
Just running matches does take away a good portion of that troubleshooting aspect of practice time.
