To program teleop, you don't need it - but I would guess that 90%+ of the good auton's out there use a state machine or a sequence of some sort. Go to location 1, check situation, go to location 2, and so on.
I found that this basic primer was helpfull. It demostrates some of the basic program structures that are available... including typical loops, case structures, State machines and timing elements.
