I think our programmer for 2009 even had a one-line autonomous description on the DS box, which was better than a simple number. Not that his descriptions were, well, descriptive.

Agreed. We had the DS display which autonomous mode we were running all season. Having the ability to switch your autonomous mode after seeing how your opponent is set up is very nice. It's even nicer in a game like Lunacy where a poor autonomous mode could be the difference between a win and a loss.
