I doubt the game will ever go fully autmated, though a combo of 2001's kill button and auto would be interesting. 15 seconds of auto like this year then you'd get a point every second until you hit a button and went to human control.

I have doubts on this 8 progs idea, not knowing whats gonna happen. Some teams will bolt for the ramp, some will swing an arm at the boxes, others will run around looking for boxes, some will sit there and do nothing. Teams may dead reckon or line follow to the ramp but there doing the same thing. So I'd say by the second day of nationals with a little scouting you'd be able to predict to a 90% certainty what a team will do.

The key strategic thing will be how fast can you write a program to counter your opponents during finals.
