As an example rule, let's say that driver control doesn't begin until you leave the starting zone of the field. You can either make your robot drive a few feet or hope that your teammates come to push you out of the zone.
There's no team where turning on motors for a few seconds is out of reach. If they can't it's because they've prioritized something else.

I think it's a good idea but at the same time I disagree. There have been matches where they start the match without us, even when we were banging on the glass, so we didn't get a chance to do auto since we didn't have time to select one, I'm notrying even sure if we had codecided loaded from the Rio, like I don't know if it was reading it. If they waited until everybody was ready like they are suppose to, it may work, but things can mess us and the auto on a robot may not start.
