This autonomous strategy is inherently outside the intent of the rules. The robot would get live calibration data prior to every match to use during the match? Yea, that ain't gonna fly. It's comparable to your drivers controlling the robot prior to autonomous period. It'll also set a precedent that will lead to wonkier rules about what's allowed to happen when a robot is set down on the field.

There's a better way: find a known point to always set down on, then go a known distance in autonomous. If you can't even do this, then your team will be in trouble if you're ever asked to move your starting position in order to accommodate another team's autonomous (e.g. you both shoot 3 from the same spot -- who moves?).
