It just takes too long to setup the practice radio when you could be driving immediately on tether.
Agreed, long tether cable and someone to hold it is best solution. Unfortunately, Championships will probably require practice radios again. Hopefully they will not run them like 3v3 practice matches again this year. Last year, it was completely useless. You would be trying to test auto routines and then another robot would ram into you and try to fill your trailer.

Who goes to the practice field for more driver practice? It is there to test programming and mechanisms that maybe having problems.
