i've been wondering this exact thing. think about this

there are 2 vision tetras

there are 8 locations on the field for those tetras, so at any given match there is a 1/4 chance that they are in a given position.

there are two positions lined up directly in front of the center bot starting position (positions 2 and 7). so multiplying 1/4 by 2 you get 1/2 or a 50% chance of a vision tet being directly in front of the center bot starting position.

what if you have your robot drive forward to where position 2 is and attempt to pick up a tet. a limit switch/sensor/something tells the bot if it picked it up or not. if it did, it drives forward a little more and caps the center goal. BONUS TETS!!! if it doesn't get one in position 2, it drives forward to position 7, same thing happens. if it gets a tet, it goes up to cap, if not, no harm done and you're already to the middle of the field for the start of the match

after watching numerous autons this last weekend in chi-town (65 going to the grocery store, et al) this doesn't seem like an unreasonable request, especially if you have a 50% shot at getting it.
