While we're making suggestions, and I like tr6scotts, esp #1, everyone will want the low-bar, here's a couple from me:

1. If you're not going to try a 2-ball, I think the next logical thing would be to try to save as much Time as possible. So which defenses take the most time? Class A and C.

If looks to me like you could manipulate a CDF and still keep your ball. I don't know how you do the Porticullis, but again, since these are 'slow' defenses, you might as well try to get them while the 15 second clock is running instead of during the frenzy that is teleop.

And most robots can't do them from the front at all, but if anyone can open the sallyport or the drawbridge from the neutral zone, it would be very helpful timewise to plan to do that in the auto.

2. No matter what your robot does during auto shooting wise, driving back to the neutral zone is a real time saver. Even if you're afraid you can't line-up, at the very least you could back up and head that way. Does not take difficult programming to turn the robot back and drive in that direction. Doesn't help at all to end up sitting on the batter. Save time.

But alas, this is mostly too little and too late. Champs is here.
