Who would like to see longer matches?

I feel that the FRC matches are just too quick. Just as they get going, their over. Also the shortness of the matches and the rush the fill as many matches as you can leaves teams with almost no time in the pits. (There were times where we were getting queued 15 min after our last match). Also as a spectator, you don't have time to get familiar with the robots, once you've finally figured out whats going on... the match is over.

I would prefer having 7 or 8 4-min matches than 12-2 min (set up accounts for close to 3 min of the ~5min match time).

I'd like to see the matches get switched back to a 2v2 with a robot on the side, who gets *tagged* in. This way you could incorporate the human player as a pit crew, responsible for quickly changing the battery and making small adjustments.

Go to a 45 sec 3v3 autonomous similar to what you saw in FTC this year, 2v2 teleop is 2:15 seconds, and a 3v3 end game for the last minute.

I think it would create an interesting dynamic to the game.
What do you think?
