In regards to the random position of the center tower, I'm wondering if teams could use something like a program chooser to select a custom routine for autonomous mode.

The Cougar Robotics team uses something like that, once their autonomous code is loaded on the nxt brick it runs code that displays a menu which allows them to select which "strategy" they want to run for that match.

Even a simple strategy like only going for the kickstand could have three variations, one for each of the three tower rotations, that would get the robot to the correct position.
