How would you go about this while keeping safety, fairness and feasibility in mind?
It is not feasible for you to reconfigure your radio for use on the practice field and them again for the competition field when you finish, but without doing that the FMS will lock your controls so you cannot initiate autonomous on your own.
I also have issue with teams resetting their robots while another team is running an untested autonomous program. This makes me want to prohibit teams from being on the field while other teams are testing, this makes reset to try a different autonomous program difficult.
Would you have a field that strictly runs autonomous and not tele-operated? How many autonomous routines would be equivalent to a practice match, i.e. how many until teams are cycled off the field. What do you do if a certain team is taking a long time to reset their robot for another go, such as tethering to reset an arm?
