Re: FRC...autonomous or driver-controlled competition?

You forgot grabbing tetras from the autoload stations and stacking them.

If you're very good (and very lucky), I think you can get 33 points in autonomous mode (plus another potential 10 at the end of the match for three-in-a-row across your home goals). I doubt anyone will come close to that, but 14 points (plus 10) doesn't seem out of line, and 20 (plus 10) isn't far-fetched. That's probably going to start you out with a good advantage.

That said, I see autonomous actions this year as being mostly prestige. I agree that they don't open up any options for playing the game differently.
