Ooooohhh, that would be interesting! Teams would have to spend time driving their robots into a certain position for the autonomous. There would also be considerable time spent trying to put obstacles in the way of other robots to impede their autonomous code.

What about each robot having a certain transmitter on it (supplied in The Kit), and the entire game must be autonomous? The humans would be involved with placing objects at the edge of the field, maybe with RFID tags or something, for their robots to go pick up and do something with.

That would be a true demonstration of engineering/programming!
