Ever since auto was introduced in 2003, teams have been writing dozens and dozens of auto routines that just never are needed in competition. Yet they sit at the ready on their robot.
About 2 sec into NJ Finals Match 2, my jaw dropped. Team 25 was running a different autonomous routine! 1860 ran the same defense that had worked in Match 1, but now they missed. What really amazed me was that they where getting hit so much in autonomous during the elims, but they choose to sit on this routine until the end.

There are many different autonomous scenarios that call for different programs. Any autonomous programmer knows that. It wouldn't surprise me if Bharat and the gang from Team 25 have a few more Aces up their sleeves for Las Vegas (Hopefully, that will not get them kicked out of town )
