Re: end of match autonomous mode

This would definitely be a "good challenge", but I really hope it doesn't happen for at least a few more years. We need to see more teams capable of completing the autonomous before the match starts first. Like others have said, it could definitely be catastrophic. Think about the robots that could be tipped over at the end of the match - if these robots attempted to open up an arm or something while in this state, it could be very very bad.

While a "good challenge," this is an idea I really hope FIRST doesn't use...
