I don't think a 2 minute autonomous would work, but having a 30 second autonomous is not unreasonable. I mentored two FLL teams last year(1192(Microlasers) and 1193(Phoenix NanoTechs)), and they each had at least one routine that was longer than 30 seconds. They where both new teams, and their programmers were learning during the season.

If middle school kids with little or no programming and engineering skills could build and program a robot to run for 30 seconds autonomously then why can't we?
