I also noticed that auto-mode seemed less-utilized so far this year. It just seems to me that everyone (including us) is having some trouble making their autonomous work right. I know that with having to redo all our programming in a different language this year, (and some design and mechanical delays) we didnt get to working on autonomous as soon as we'd have liked, and therefore didnt get to test all of our ideas. I don't think autonomous is less important, it's just not being used in strategy as much. I think you'll see that change by the time we're at championships and teams start realizing how tough it's going to be, and that those first 15 seconds could really help.
