Re: Advantage given by succesful autonomous mode
EDIT: Okay, Philbot did get this. But the point remains.
AAHHH! I swear you're all missing the point of having a robot that's successful in autonomous mode. I would've expected everyone to have learned this lesson last year, but perhaps I'm mistaken. It is vitally important to offensive robots for one reason and one reason only.
You don't have to restrict the operation to autonomous mode.
If a robot is capable of homing in on a light and successfully scoring a ringer, why on earth wouldn't you take advantage of these abilities? Do you honestly think your human player is going to have better luck at this from 40 feet away on the opposite side of the field, looking through a rack festooned with ringers? I understand that it might not be able to compensate for a defensive bot, but you must admit that a robot that can easily score in autonomous is more likely to succeed than a human when the human can't see what she's doing.
