Is that still autonomous? By strict definitions, no--but we already stretch the definition of "robot" at times too.
It could have been a chess match with or without vision-based inputs, though. 1114 could have programmed a mode that drove towards the hot goal, and all we used Cheesy Vision for was to select which side to drive towards. The actual path we drove was all autonomous.
