Re: Auto mode 2007

I see hanging a keeper to be quite rare this year, not as bad as 2005 (when 0% of teams at the AZ regional hung a tetra with the vision system), but no where near the success of last year.

Defense I think will take a hit also, as all the "suicidal ramming mode" auto will get you this year is stopping opponents who are positioned near the sides of the rack; ramming the rack may work, but it's not as good a defense as last year, and you always run the risk of getting penalized for that.
