You are incorrectly assuming that the other teams did not attempt because they were not able to and/or the problem was too hard. This is not the case - I can think of several teams at Midwest that I know are fully capable of completing an autonomous task like 2007's (and I'm sure there's many more than that which I am not thinking of at this time). I assume they (like us) decided that the autonomous payoff was not worth the investment and chose to spend their time/resources elsewhere. We chose to focus our software and electrical skills on making our robot easier to control for the operators. In the end, we feel we made the right decision.
