Also, it never said you cant touch other robots, it just says you cant drive out and sit. I agree with this. I dont like seeing the teams that put large efforts into their auto mode get defeated by those who just drive forward. I like this update and think it was the right move.

The outcome of the game this year shouldn't always be determined by autonomous mode though. Don't get me wrong, those teams who figure it out should definitely get a few points head start when teleoperated mode starts, but often-times, with powerhouse autonomous teams, the match is decided before players get a chance to touch their controls.
