This pretty much eliminates all the necessity for a driver during offense.
So, the focus of this thread is:
Do you think an offensively autonomous robot is feasible?
If so, do you think it would be competitive?
If not feasible, why not? What specific function could a robot do that a human could not?

I would also like to add that FIRST exist to get students interested in science and technology. A fully auto mode I think would take some of the fun away from this.

I would be kinda creeped out if I was one of the "famous" FIRST people. Why? Because no one is any different than anyone else in my eyes. Granted, some people stand out more, but that is because the other people might not have gotten a chance yet to shine. - Melissa Nute [more]
