Oh geez... right after I posted that last post I got the most wicked idea... I will probably be flamed to no end for this, as it is just too diabolical

What if FIRST gave each team an option for each match whether or not they would run full autonomous, partly autonomous or no autonomous?

The benefit of full autonomous would be a multiplier of 3 for the alliance, a multiplier of 2 for partly autonomous, and no multiplier for no autonomous

So if it was two on two still, if one robot in the alliance did full autonomous, the alliance would get 3 times their score while still having one robot able to be under human control.
