sometimes not having an autonomous mode may be very helpful. in 2003 (Stack attack) we did not have a very good autonomous mode. during one match the casters on our robot were not positioned right and during autonomous mode our robot ran against a wall and fell on its side. We were dead for the rest of the match. I would say a team should consider some sort of autonomous mode that at least moves your robot down the field so you don't need to wast the teleoperated mode time.

although it would seem in practical, couldn't a team potentially take one of the magnetic tetras off, and then stack it? This would give a maximum autonomous mode point value of 37
