Re: Autonomous Dilemma

One thing to keep in mind is that any team with the capability to drive forwards during autonomous can also push in a tote, provided their robot dimensions allow them to fit behind it at the start.

As for teams not having any autonomous, I know that my team (and others) have come to competition and offered to help those teams without autonomous capabilities at least get a basic routine working. I would encourage teams who have a number of programmers that aren't directly needed for scouting or their own robot to send out those programmers and offer to help teams that may not be able to drive and complete a robot set on their own. For veteran teams and programmers it's a simple thing to do, but it can make a competition so much more fun for teams when they feel like they're able to participate in all aspects of the game instead of being limited from autonomous.
