i kinda like the idea of leveling the playing field for everyone, but here's the issue: we are not here to prove who can win, but rather, we are here to learn. if you just hand a team an autonomous mode, and tell them it works, they'll use it. i know i would, only because i put so much into it. but what do you learn about programming in this situation? people need to realize that autonomous is not that far off from teleop. it just seems a little intimidating. really, i think the only thing to really do is try to help those teams that have a hard time with it. otherwise, by "helping" you may be doing their team harm if you just hand autonomous to them.
