In the case of last year's competition, you would have had to find the green light at the start of autonomous. I think that FIRST may want to move towards this, because it prevents some of the defensive autonomous programs that were based on scouting the path that other teams took to reach their firing position.
If this is the case, I think it would make for a very exciting finish to every match!

That would all depend on the length of the post match autonomous period. With a 10-15 second period, assuming you were facing away from the light, you would most likely not be able to do anything. However, this would make for an interesting strategy where position at the end of the match was
really important.
