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?
There is a difference between FLL and FRC auto-modes...is the number of robots on the field. All it takes is for one auto-mode to disrupt another auto-mode and you will have and additional 15 seconds of nothing.
