Well when it comes to helping other teams I'm all for that, of course we have done that many times in the past even for the most basic to complicated of strategies. I feel automode has always been a key part in the FTC games. Face-off and Hotshot are the only games I know all the rules for, but if you can own automode it can make it incredibly difficult for the other alliance to make up for their disadvantage. Its a great idea for a longer automode for a game aspect, if there is THAT much to do. Sometimes you need that extra 5 seconds or something like that but I think making automode longer than 45 seconds might be a little much. From a personal aspect from waiting for matches to continue on the field and watching games in the stand, it can be very uninteresting, or very thrilling depending on the matches and the teams in the matches.
