Simple Autonomous Programs

So I've noticed that there are lots of robots that don't move at all during autonomous and its more important this year than others that all robots have an autonomous, due to points coming in sets. So, is it against the rules to distribute simple autonomous programs? Any team that doesn't have an autonomous can just load this onto their robot, that way no one lets the alliance down.

Because the only thing every robot has in common is wheels, the autonomous would only be driving forward, but position the robot behind a yellow tote and you can get the robot set and tote set.

Thoughts?
