I know this won't matter too much if this is just an off season thing, but what Dave just mentioned can be VERY helpful at competition. If you need to adjust one of your autonomous actions by 1/2 or 1 second, this makes it so much more convenient and doable (especially if that time comes during the playoffs in between matches where you have maybe 5 minutes to do it tops).
