Re: Do you think FIRST should extend the autonomous time
I do see how this would benefit a game like Ultimate Ascent where the teams could have been allowed to climb for some bonus points - but in a game like Aerial Assist - no.
The programming team is already responsible for so much - it is nice to allow for the Drive team and HP (in games such as Aerial Assist) to develop a strategy. The tele-op portion is so crucial to gamesmanship and excitement, it would be counterproductive to the game itself.
As for the argument that 'Aerial Assist' already has too many problems - I differ. The elimination matches that I have watched (and my team was a part of) have been so exciting! Yes, I could offer up instances where it struggles to compete with games such as UA - but that game was the standard that FRC games will always be measure against.
I believe that Aerial Assist was designed for matches that take place in eliminations - without a doubt. When you get that many great robots and teams on the field and behind the controllers - the intensity rivals Ultimate Ascent.
