I don't see your point...

Something me and my teacher have been discussing as a scenario is having a certain coloured game piece/area/thing and having to find that piece/area/thing in autonomous mode.

Another possibility we found was having a raised platform with a hole and some coloured game pieces in the whole, so that the robot has to pick up the pieces autonomously, deciding which colour to pick (as the driver could not see):

Code:
   __          ___
  /  |  _____  |  \
 /   |  |   |  |   \
/____|__|___|__|____\
square in middle is blue or red block. Driver can't see block.

Moonfish: kind of like fishing
Fancy camera: must be used for this
Uneven surface: check.

Just a thought.
