Who would like to see longer matches?

Requires some additional components/weight. Could be done, though.

I'm not exactly in favor of matches going much longer. Maybe an extra 15 seconds or so, but much beyond that and we lose the "cool" factor.

I might suggest 15 second automode and 15 second end game tacked on to the end of the 2:00. Back before I started, matches were 2:00, no automode, no real endgame. In 2003, a 15-second automode was added to the start of the match.

So, instead of having the end game in the 2:00 teleop, have it right after. Put a big automation bonus in, or maybe full automode. Slightly longer match, but could be really fun to see what happens.
