EDIT:
Also give your reasoning if you want to.
No. The fact is most autonomous periods are boring. Many robots don't even move. Having 30 seconds of 5 robots sitting still while 1 moves forward, does some simple task for 5 seconds and then sits still is BORING.

And I assert that auton is already critical. There were matches last weekend in which we pretty much won in auton.
