I would prefer that the rules reflect the game. Aerial Assist and goalie-bots lent themselves towards limited human control during the autonomous period, due to their reactionary nature, and resulted in a great deal of excitement. A game like Rebound Rumble, even though it allowed, encouraged, and downright highlighted Kinect use, saw it practically never used because robots never interacted with their opponents in the autonomous period, and better accuracy could be achieved with pure autonomy.

For the record, I generally prefer mostly isolated autonomous periods with a high ceiling for performance like Rebound Rumble or Ultimate Ascent, but think that the "hybrid period" should come and go as the games require, rather than forcing one way to work for all games.
