I was hoping for at least 20 seconds if not 30.
Well, Look on the bright side, you can program the robot and have it go streight, with any luck it might even be able to soot in the hoop, ah heck, what am i thinking, thats bull only giving us 10 seconds, and my freind says hi, an you can use the autonomous mode next year .
