Re: Autonomous Longer????
Last year was good. At the beginning of auto, robots moved - did something. Our team even scored 4 to 6 balls in the center goal with only timers. This year is bad. Robots don't do anything until human control. This year the incentive to put resources into auto is all most nil. Does it really matter to the game if you score a keeper? The length of auto time is not the key it's the value of possible points and game wining advantage that push teams to focus on auto. As far as auto value, the game designers blew it this year.
I find the concept of an end of match auto ---- interesting. With Easy-C even teams like ours can do something useful in auto but it has to have a high value to the game. This year we will sit and wait for human play. Isn't robotics about taking human interaction out of the loop?
