I'm wishy/washy on the Hybrid period this year, but I'd like to see a longer autonomous period.

Adding encoders and all that is expensive- our team might not be able to afford it, but still... perhaps some canned routines that beginning coders could build upon (such as the kamikaze ultrasonic wall avoider) would be great.

I believe truly that a 30 second autonomous period would encourage and increase the value for this first period. Right now, teams that know how to do it will continue to do it. Teams that don't continue to struggle.

It's all about the code reuse.

And 15 more seconds might make it much more interesting...
