Re: What autonomous modes will teams have?

No one will score a second gear in autonomous in 2017.

Autonomous scoring involving moving the drivetrain will never be consistent for a low-level team, because consistent driving to a specific location is hard. But I'd say some will be able to.
Although I think two-gear autos are a stretch, I do think we will see at least one team attempt it. Last year people thought two-boulder autos were impossible until a certain point.
