This is what we will do. We will have various auto modes to select from and use them according to the need, all this planned ahead and decided by drive team.

In my experience 80% of the teams have extensive autonomous plans and only about 10% show up with auto modes that work well, mainly because it takes a working robot and a lot of time to perfect it.
