Any team that lets me know that their autonomous mode may be 'worse than useless' is marked high in my book because they are honest (we can help them with the autonomous mode).

It's the ones that tell me that they can do it all, when they are barely functional that bother me.


Also:
Is anyone concerned that if a bumper falls off your robot will be disabled? And this could happen with a ball inside your machine?
