I would love to see an autonomous mode sometime in the middle of a match, or at the end. It would be at some set time, not activated randomly, for example the last 15 seconds would be autonomous. If the points for autonomous tasks were high enough, few teams would elect not to have autonomous. It would give a big advantage to teams who used sensors to effectively track robot position, but teams who didn't have time/money/weren't ingenious enough could still pull it off by driving the robot during manual operation to some sort of starting point.
