I hope I'm not giving the GDC diabolical game ideas now!
I think something of a similar nature would be very interesting to game strategy, where each robot on the alliance takes turns going through a 40 second 'power play' during teleop where their scoring is boosted a la autonomous mode the past two years. It would require fluid and dynamic match strategies to work with the teams focusing on letting the power play robot score, or focusing their defense on a specific robot on the opposing alliance.
