In a way, it is kinda hard because I believe that teams that can score in autonomous don't get enough recognition/reward for doing so. There should be at least some reward/bonus for doing so.

I don't believe that it changes the designs that get advantages, as they have gone out and done some really hard programming. Plus, it doesn't encourage human player scoring as that is what most HP's do already. If you look at some matches in which robots score in autonomous, they many times have more points than their opposing alliances HP scores.
