[FTC]: [FTC] Autonomous center line rule

FYI, I just emailed FIRST through their website and let them know that they really ought to make a rule preventing teams from crossing the center line during the autonomous period. It's way too easy to program your robot to drive straight forward and then point it at an opposing team to derail their autonomous strategy. That's bad for the game - it reduces the variety and complexity of successful autonomous strategies. This is a rule they could easily put in place this year.

If you feel the same way, feel free to email them and let them know.
