Re: Do you think FIRST should extend the autonomous time

The length of autonomous really depends on the game. For a game like this one... there's a limited amount of stuff they could really have us do for autonomous, so a short auto makes sense. Go back to a game like Overdrive, and a longer auto starts to make more sense, as the limit for auto points was really based on how fast/far you could reliably drive in auto.

Given that, I would not say they should extend it for all games, just that it could reasonably be extended for some games, so long as there's plenty to do and it's easy enough to do it that everyone can get it done to one extent or another (like mobility points this year).
