I like the idea of having something (not necessarily minibots) deployed during autonomous, that could release some kind of game piece when pressed. It could be like a cycle, where when something like a minibot goes through this small tunnel, a few game pieces are released, and then the minibot-like object comes out to a spot where the hostbots can retrieve it, and restart to get more game pieces in auto mode. I can imagine a small tunnel the loops a bit out of the playing field, and releases game pieces when a minibot comes by, and then the minibot comes out, and the hostbot gets the minibot. I bet we'd see a lot of robots who would send out multiple minibots, then.
