I like this idea because it has both a simple solution and a more complex one. To throw an additional twist in there...what if the red and blue goals switched after 8 seconds (assume 16 seconds of autonomous). This would force elegant solutions to not score for the other team. The only problem would be scoring...this year would've been tough because of the way that the balls had to be cleared from the goal by hand.

possibly including a pressure pad to show that you have finished, then more points would be awarded

I liike this too, but would need to be a stipulation of not getting the bonus unless the task was actually complete. Probably doable with a multiplier since not completing the task would result in 0 points.
