However, I'm not going to pay much attention to autonomous, because I have a feeling that most teams won't be able to do it, and even if there is an alliance on which all teams can cap in autonomous, how will they ensure that their robots do not crash into each other, by locking on to the same light?

I don't think that teams crashing will be as big of a problem as you think, if you have your bot drive forward some first it quickly becomes able to focus only on the light you want it to see. If a team can score 3 keepers in autonomous I think they will be the favorite to win the match. for example if they score the same row in the 1 3 and 5 columns they only have 6 points but 2 more ringers give them 32 points (and obviously anything after that is huge.
