I think you're right. At first, I felt a little selfish about it, because I didn't like the feeling that suddenly everyone was at the same level, even though I have more programming skill/experience than others, because that's how I spend my time. However, I'm now seeing how this is all part of the field-leveling plan of FIRST, to make things accessible to new, underfunded, or undermentored teams, but still allowing those who can go above and beyond to do so. With this scripting, virtually every team should be able to at least knock off the hanging tetra, but not manipulate the vision tetra without a lot of additional effort. Those who have done this before will still be able to do fantastic things in autonomous, but at least all of the teams will be able to do something.
