If we decide that any control is unacceptable in Autonomous, we also need to ensure that our robots can get all the information they need from the field. Vision targets need to be consistent.
We also need a consistent way to sense other robots, something that has to be put on every robot. Perhaps retro-reflective stickers on bumpers, motion-capture markers on the robot, or something like the trailers from 2009.

Goalie bots were OP with kinect.
Half our blocking was done by guessing where our opponents would shoot (from scouting data), and driving there with encoders and a number we selected on driverstation after the robots lined up.
This would have been reasonable, and still resulted in the SAME einstein chess match.
