Re: Programming dumbed down even more.
Autonomous from last year was the easiest I've seen, because teams could place their robots in relatively the same position every time, so all the robot had to do was shoot, reload, shoot.
This year in autonomous, it's a requirement to have light tracking, and to adjust the robots position for shooting the ball to get goal points. There is also the driving forward part, which can be easy or complicated depending upon the method. Teleop this year is most likely going to be much more complex than last year as well, because of the amount of movement to the parts necessary to pick up balls, shoot them, and adjust both for the various goals.
In my opinion, FRC is streamlining programming, but not making it 'easier' than the past couple of years or for the years ahead.
