Autonomous mode is fantastic. Like it or not, the science of robotics rests on software and electronics as much as mechanical engineering. With the addition of custom circuits last year and autonomous mode this year, FIRST has finally acknowledged that fact.

Is FIRST less like a sport than it was last year? Sure, but who cares? Autonomous mode lets FIRST robots become more whole.
