I remember the "Snow Hint". I support the idea that it refers to "snow" as in noise, static, chaos, etc. I think FIRST has been in a tough situation as far as autonomous goes. It's depressing to see robots sit around for 15 seconds... yet they want to reward teams who are good at autonomus. The compromise could be the ability to voluntarily switch in autonomus and complete tasks in that mode for extra points. Or forgo autonomus entirely. This allows point allocation to reflect the "bonus" nature of auto-mode.

Oh, and I suggested it a while back, so they darn well better do it :-)
