Re: Programming dumbed down even more.

It seems like they're trying to make it easier for rookie teams to get some autonomous points this year (which, in previous years, was honestly pretty hard.) If we have time this season (ha) I will probably try to work on a two-ball autonomous that can score a partner's ball as well. I'm sure it would set us apart at regionals, beyond that I'm not so sure.

I think that teams that do attempt a more complex auton will probably face some unique challenges right away - like trying to keep track of both goals at the same time to see which is hot. I'm not sure I trust our vision system enough to act on the absence of a target.
