Re: [Official 2005 Game Design] Autonomy Discussions

Autonomous mode usually consists of:
A) Robots doing nothing.
B) One robot doing a lot very quickly.
C) The majority of the time consisting of nothing, with very few exceptions.

Thus, either shorten the time for the autonomous mode or lengthen the driver control period back to the 2min length prior to 2003.

In addition, large targets like the wall of bins in 2003 were fun, but it is more interesting for there to be a smaller target (10pt ball in 2004) or perhaps a target that moves???
