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.

<goes to find a hiding spot>
Ahhh....!! Visions of 2001 and the crazy multipliers.... why did you have to say that? Now Dave Lavery is going to read that, and if we get autonomy multipliers next year, I'm blaming you! Just kidding... it's an interesting idea, though I think it approaches the confusion and complexity of 2001 just a little too much.
