I think a more intricate field would go great with autonomous mode. Maybe something like a totally out of view area <side of the field> that poses a maze that would require a programmed motion. That would require some nice coding. Give a team 25 points for navigating to that point on the field. Make 2 different paths requiring 2 different auton sequences.

Just an idea... as a head programmer i found myself just coming up with random things to program... at one point i had 20 auton modes and 3 "anytime" functions.

Oh and if you were at nationals you saw only at most 10 teams used all 15 seconds of the autonomous. Many teams just chose to go for about 5 seconds to the stack.
