Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on." (official clue from first blast email)

velocity maximum? * perhaps something to do with the field setup?

With the clue words "two paths, long run, and time to change the road" I think something funny is going to happen to the timing system...maybe a modification of the field to provide two pathways (perhaps one short and not able to modify itself, or one long...or elevated fields...). I wonder why they mentioned "long run". This is really bothering me.

Perhaps autonomous mode is optional - you can either choose to activate autonomous, and extend the amount of time you have to do stuff by 15 seconds (activate by 1:45 in a 2-minute match, autonomous turns on at 1:45 and stays on til 2:15) or choose to have less time (2 minutes) but with full robot control...Ah well. All we can do is wait til Saturday
