I believe autonomous mode was an excellent idea. Its not like you don't get to drive. Anyway, it is necessary for teams now to actually learn PBASIC if they don't want to just sit there. This elevates the job of the programmers from almost unnecessary to imperative. And it is extremely fun! I get to watch my ideas form into calculations, my calculations into pseudocode, my pseudocode into code, my code into motion. Just because the opening move is not controlled by a driver doesn't make it any less important. If you really want the equivalent of human control, make a program to "train" the robot. PBASIC isn't that hard.
You do not like it.
So you say.
Try it! Try it!
And you may.
Try it and you may, I say.
(Apologies to Dr. Seuss)
