Re: Do you think FIRST should extend the autonomous time
Autonomous is already just as important as teleop, if not more so. You have a chance to score up to 75 points, virtually defense-free. It can set the stage for the entire match. Climbing back up after the other alliance gets a big lead in auton can be extremely difficult. Besides, a longer autonomous (assuming that they would add the potential for more scoring, because otherwise what's the point) would only widen the gap between high-caliber teams and teams who struggle or lack programming resources.
