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.

I agree. Autonomous should be a more vital part of the whole game. However, you must remember, even though auton is the progger's time to shine, we also have to make driving the thing as simple as possible. Many techniques used during autonomous can be reused during driver operated period. This makes the extra you must write to "automate" it all minimal. As long as you programmed well, tried to fake OO as much as possible, it really isn't a waste of our time.
