The problem with a completely autonomous game would be: how would the rookie teams possibly survive? In previous years, there's always been some way for any robot, as long as it drives, to score some points. You could push things around or get your bot into a certain zone. But with complete autonomy, that's really hard. Even veteran teams have trouble with getting autonomy to work every time. Think of what it'll be like for the rookies.
