Disappointing Autonomous??? Huh???

A concur with those who think that this years Autonomous will be anything but easy and boring.

The number of options for things to do is HUGE compare to last year.

There will be more full speed crashes as teams BOTH try to go for the bonus balls (or more interesting perhaps -- both try to PREVENT the other team from getting THEIR bonus ball -- can you say jousting?)

Bored with that, move the other team's or your own team's goal around.

How about getting that middle big juicey ball while you are at it?

How about capping your opponents stationary goal?

How about letting them opponent get there bonus balls only you rake in the balls to YOUR side of the field?

Still looking for a challenge? How about getting in position to block the opponent's purple chute during autonomous?

I believe that Autonomy will be HUGE in 2004. And I don't think there is a chance of it being boring or easy.
