Programming dumbed down even more.

It's easy to go the "dumb" route and rely on precise placement of balls at the start of the match.

However, this isn't very robust. What if the ball rolls a little? What if for whatever reason your alliance can't place the ball where you need it in order for another robot to make its autonomous shot?

A more robust and intelligent system would seek out a ball to pick up.

You complained that there was nothing to do in autonomous, and IndySam suggested ways that you can add more depth to your autonomous mode. If you don't like that idea, maybe focus on adding depth to other parts of your code.
