Go to Post An FRC team's success should not be measured in how many robots it can build or how many blue banners it can collect. It should be measured by how many engineers (and other professionals) it 'builds'. - jvriezen [more]

And it's not like it's a difficult auto-mode either. Tripple Play was difficult, Aim High was easy, Rn'R is between. I am suprised that no robots take a ringer by the side and run toward the spider legs to hook the keeper on the side.

I think the high defense is a result of the low auto-modes.
Not so much. This year there is no auto bonus. There also is no real strategic value to it beside the opportunity to start a row and get a clear head start. It would be one thing if 3 robots could all land ringers at once, but i scarcely see too many teams successfully placing keepers.
Last year on the other hand, there was a clear advantage. First, you get points, second, there is a bonus, third there was the advantage of playing defense first, which i know at least 25 used to thier advantage when playing. I even think that they lost the final in nationals due to the fact that they were beaten in autonomous in one of the final matches. ( correct me if im wrong)
