OK, good. That's what I thought.

I mean, if you win autonomous and go directly into offense, why bother shooting in auto mode?

It would be a bigger bang for the buck if you DIDN'T shoot in auto mode. Why let the tiny computer aim and possibly miss a bunch when you could wait and let the human (with a superior organic computer) aim and hit with higher accuracy later on. And it's not so much the aiming, but the decision to fire. In auto mode, the robot doesn't know it's about to get pushed... but the human can see that and hold off on firing.

Also, if you unload "Rambo style" into the goal and win... you are empty and just made your life harder.

In other words, had it been the other way, people would be "penalized" for having a shooting auto mode.

And I'm sure the GDC likes the increase in Auto modes. (Which, by the way, is really cool this year - best auto modes EVER.)
