The amount of time for auto mode to us doesn't really matter, but what it means to the match play does. It's gotta be worth it or gain an advantage.

Both last year and this year seem good for timing. Last year we had an auto mode with camera, and it worked pretty good. This year, we don't have one. So now we just sit still. We might come up with something later, but for now we sit for the whole time frame. If we had 15 seconds last year, I think we could have done more auto correcting to get the aim better, but we did it in the time required. I like it the way it is.
well it is worth it if you can score on your opponents side of the rack
