I recall Andy announcing that 1124 was scoring with the camera, right at the autonomous/teleop switch, so I'm not sure if it was done in autonomous or teleop.
Mostly, teams just drove straight forward, and there was a big cluster of 5 or 6 robots in the center of the field, as the sitting human players pumped the trailers full of balls. From the webcast I would guess that the majority drove some distance and stopped, while a few just kept moving throughout the entire autonomous.
A couple of teams would drive out 10 feet or so and spin in circles. It didn't seem to work too well at keeping balls out though. I know GUS did it, and I watched a HP sink every ball he/she shot as GUS was spinning, although that may have just been an exceptional human.
At the end of the day, it seemed that the clustering wasn't quite as bad. A couple of robots would get caught up, then they'd get whacked by a newcomer and sort of seperate.
