It seems to me that it could be a big plunger button that you have to drive into to activate. Like maybe to release game pieces.

Or, if its a 5-robot free-for-all game, it could be that in autonomous there are five of these numbered buttons along the side of the field with different colored lights as below (RL, GL, BL = Red, Green, Blue light & Tx = Target x)

[RL] (T1) [RL] (T2) [GL] (T3) [GL] (T4) [BL] (T5) [BL]

At the start of the match the field computer randomly downloads a number to each of the robots 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. If you can drive into your button during autonomous you get a big bonus. Or get your game pieces early.

Or maybe there is one of these at each end. During the match if you can get to and drive into your opponents "5" button, then you disable them for 5 seconds or take 5 seconds off of their time, or earn 5 points, or take away 5 points... *sigh*... so many possibilities....

I'm gonna stop throwing out these silly guesses now so Dave can stop laughing at me.
