All of this is theoritical until game time. I doubt we will see 8 in row except against dead players. Five in row will be tough we will see.

We are going for auto mode. I hate seeing the robot sit there for 15 seconds. I think we will succeed at it. Hardware build looks good in their approach and auto mode helped so much last year hardware guys are motivated to have it built and give us a week and half for driver and auto mode.

My only point is that auto mode is a lot less than last year but more than other years.

I do hope I am wrong and it will be significant. I do think it will make a difference in many rounds.
