Where will you go during autonomous?

Hello everyone. I got thinking a bit the other night, about autonomous, and where our robot will go, what it will do, etc. It made me wonder, where will the other two robots be when we're doing our autonomous? Is everyone going under the low bar, or ending up right in front of the middle of the castle? What sort of common robot positions should we "play around" when planning our own autonomous?

So I'll get the ball(boulder?) rolling. We have 2 autonomous options.

1. Start in front of the low bar, drive under it, shoot a low goal. Begin teleop somewhere near the left batter. We would only stay on the left side of the field.

OR

2. Cross a category B/D defense. End near the edge of that defense, in the opponent's courtyard. We would stay very close to the edge of the outerworks the whole time.

So feel free to post whatever information you want to about where your robot will go during auto, where it will end, etc. I just figured this might be useful stuff for everyone to know when they consider their auto options, and whether they may hit other bots.
