Re: Do you think FIRST should extend the autonomous time

For This year i think the time is long enough for shooting 1-3 balls and driving forward.
Last year bit longer would only help a finite number of teams that could go to the center line, pick up discs and shoot (987, 2056).
If auto had a reasonable challenge mechanically like this year that did not require too many 1 time use designs and focuses more on the programming skill and sensors. Such as a more precise area of the field the robot must go ,climb something or even mini bot I think it would be necessary.
