Re: Auto mode woes.

I like the idea of the two in a row rule. For about the past month, we have been working like no other trying to get multiple autonomous modes working on a test robot, thinking many teams would atleast try autonomous. To be honest, i was very dissappointed with the autonomous modes this year. I personally thought teams like wildstang would have used the camera, but at the midwest regional we were the only team that could halfway get the autonomous mode working consistantly. There needs to be some sort of a bonus to add to autonomous. whether a keeper is counted as double, or a stock bonus like last year, something more needs to be done. I think FIRST thought the fact that a keeper cannot be spoiled would be enough, but it isnt. Hardly any teams have used the spoilers successfully.
