I say definitely a bigger reward for those who complete the autonomous goal. For example, this year capping a vision tetra on the center goal was the "big thing". No teams did it, making it one of the hardest things to do in FIRST history. Yet if we were to do it, we would receive only 9 points.

I support sanddrag's view on keeping the camera, but disagree on making the task easier. Maybe you should make an easy task, worth a small amount of points, and also a larger task. The larger task would be worth 30 points or some high amount like that. This method lets rookie teams learn about the camera and autonomy, and also lets veteran teams expand on their knowledge.

Autonomous mode should definitely be a bigger portion of the game, as that is surely where robotics is going in the future. Maybe having robots interact with humans during autonomous?
