Re: 2006 game poll #3 (mor or less emphasis on autonomous)

I definitely agree that autonomous is very important, and a longer period would be good, but if they do in fact extend it, I could only hope they extend the entire match. Autonomous is the learning end, but the human control is so much better than the days of FLL, where winning depended on so much sitting behind a computer applying you ideas to the robot, rather than trying to wrap your mind around the robot in FRC.
As for problems with battery life during say, a four minute match, I can't see a problem. Someone on CD awhile ago said that three matches should be able to be played easily before changing the battery, very correctly.
