While I agree that having a 30 second period would make it more valuable, and thus require more teams to try it, I would currently be dead set against it. I don't think the majority of teams are really have the engineering/machining capabilities to finish with time left over for programming autonomous, and it’s very hard (if not impossible) to program with a field, or large enough area with carpet to make into a semi-real field. Driving on concrete or snow 30 feet and then turning does not give you the same results as industrial carpet. My guess is that instead of having 5-10% of teams trying you would get 10-25%, but those extra teams would all be paying for it in how good their robot was in the teleported period instead.
