PUT A WHITE STRIPE AROUND THE AUTONOMOUS BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell you how many times teams on the field and people in the stands lost track of the fact that the ball being played was an auton ball that rebounded down the length of the field.

Just put a stripe on the ball so people can tell there is a difference.
It's pretty simple to tell when a ball is an autonomous ball by the way the high goals are lit up. As soon as a ball from a lit pedestal is put into play by a human player, the high goal lights up one section. If the pedestal isn't lit up at all, then the ball on the field is an auton ball.

...if the field isn't lighting up correctly in a timely fashion, than THAT needs to be fixed.
