If you make autonomous longer, it will make the game boring for longer.

I understand that and agree, to some level. If you think about it though, its code controlling the robot, not the driver, and if you think about it, code controlling a robot without live guidance from a driver, is neat, and it shows what robots can do, when you have good code and a good robot. And if your realized it, there are becoming more semi-autonomous ways to score, using a robot and code, and the help of a driver. I don't think autonomous is boring, and maybe the people who think that it is, don't see some of the challenges teams have to face to accomplish this.

And Karibou, I think you're right. One wrong move and one or multiple teams dreams can be ruined
