Nice article.

As both the programmer and a driver/operator on my team, I automatically think in terms of what is easiest to control when writing the software.
If anything, I may be guilty of wanting to write too much automation when programming.
Semi-automation is especially important for our robot this year; simply lifting a tote takes 7 steps, with several pneumatics firing and the lift motor running. Automation has reduced this to one push of a button.
