The GDC has given us a number of navigational aids in the form of retro-reflective tape around the goals, a wall and a pyramid. You may want to find an FLL team in your area that knows how to use sensors and how to exploit the field elements and the robot's physical atributes (i.e. one that can do a large number of the tasks on the half of the field away from Base). They may be able to give you a fresh perspective on how to develop an autonomous mode strategy.
