Re: Autonomous end game

Too many variables to consider at the end of the game, based on where you are what direction you are pointed etc, etc, it could be done, but I'm just saying that if it was so decisive you would see the drivers for so many teams trying to set their robot up so that their robot worked autonomously the best for the last 20 seconds of manned periods, and there would be those without autonomous programming who would just park themselves in the percieved way of the opponent's autonomous mode.

Not that it couldn't be done, but I think it would detract a lot and not be as interesting, and make autonomous 10 times harder, and looking at the autonomous from this year, it looks like we could really use that.
