So you drive a long distance, flip a switch, and then it does the rest on it's own? I'm not a programmer, but I have a feeling FULLY autonomous may be a little to hard. (My programmer has less hair than he had at the beginning of the season... )

Just my $0.02

Good luck!

Was thinking of the switch too, if the robot is acting really dumb and going away from the action, you can flip a switch to get you into the real teleop mode... Teleop mode is way easier to code than auto so it will be a breeze
