I think the hardest part about autonomous is getting a robot that is designed to do autonomous well. Many robots are simply not designed to do a two ball auto (lack of good pickup, lack of ball control). Other robots are inherently squirly and even driving straight can be challenging without some fairly sophisticated feedback from a gyro/encoders and decent time to tune. (whereas the person behind the sticks learns to correct fairly quickly)

Compound that with inexperienced coders making a mess out of the code and debug time can increase exponentially, and since the coders are inexperienced, things won't work the first time.

Again, these are things that come with experience. It's the little decisions early that make the difference between coding a two-ball in 10 minutes or spending 2 days debugging your mobility points.
