Completely disagree here. It is an order of magnitude harder to drive to a "sweet spot" in autonomous than teleop. Most shooters won't be able to shoot from just anywhere that their camera has a clear shot on the goal either, but rather have the most accuracy from specific spots. Getting to those specific spots without losing position accuracy while crossing the various defenses is an immense challenge that teams seem to be consistently underestimating. Spy bot is a different story of course.

You also shouldn't need more than a single frame to figure out how much you need to turn to hit the goal, right? At least if you're using an auto-aim feature. This reduces network latency.
