Our programmers are working on that very problem as we speak
Having a handful of auto modes looks to be really helpful this year. For example, one could select to go either down the right side, the left side, or the center of the field, looking towards whichever direction the lights will be in those starting configurations, then driving towards the light(s) after going straight for a while, then turn in and hang your keeper on "your" side of the rack, while your alliance partner is doing the same on "their" side of the rack.
Auto defense could be interesting too....15 seconds to drive around leaves a lot of possibilities
