Agreed.
One thought that I intend to start working into Potomac Vex League scrimmages is giving robots an uncontested field for X seconds and seeing who can score the most points in that time.
Insert the word autonomously into the paragraph above, squeeze the action into the breaks between regular matches or do it during an evening (sort of like the home run derby that occurs outside of baseball's All-Star game) (or install a second (half of a?) field at each regional (Yikes!)), and you have decent reason to give out an award called "Autonomous High Score".
