There's no advantage to a blank auton mode; you do not lose driving time, as you stated at the start, and you don't risk screwing anything up. Yes it does happen; robot controllers are strange little devices, and sometimes do run the wrong program when not reset (or whatever else).

Very true; you don't lose driver's time, yet I think that due to the inconsistency of the human player pads, it is a greater risk to do that than to plug in blank code.
I'm just asking this because there were a few teams at various regionals who, through odd circumstances, couldn't get back during qualifying. I'm not sure if it every happened during eliminations because that would just be devastating.
