Re: [FTC]: What do you wish FTC would...

1. Have a longer autonomous. Most of the interesting and challenging programming work centers around autonomous. The last couple of years, they have restricted the number of points that can be scored and limited the time. If there was more time, people could run routines that looked for blocking robots and avoided them. If their were more points available and more time, the game could be won in autonomous - a powerful incentive for the programming team.

Maybe add an ability to the FCS operator to cut short the autonomous if all the teams indicate their autonomous is done, so we are not waiting for 45 seconds after a robot runs down the ramp. Head ref could ask the teams to put up their hands when their robot is done, then ask the FCS operator to kill autonomous and move to teleop.
