For an autonomous programming competition, I think it would be best to go simple like mtrawls said. The focus is on programming using sensors to achieve a certain goal. A setup like what Astronouth7303 suggested would be more like the Autodesk Inventor competition.

A maze would be a simple problem that I think we should try this year.
BUT, since Astronouth7303 started this discussion to deviate from the original programming competition, I'm going to return the competition discussion to the original thread I created.
Finally, my team began discussing an implementation for the competition structure. Check the original thread for continued discussion.
