I'm sort of disappointed that the autonomous phase was cut to only 10 seconds this year. Finally, we get a processor that's reasonably capable, we've had a couple of years to develop some experience with the PIC processors, and instead of increasing the time so we can really show off, we get our time cut. Programming the autonomous phase is one of the more difficult and time consuming parts of robot development, I think cutting back the time seems to denegrate its importance. I was hoping for at least 20 seconds if not 30.
