This appears to be a very challenging yet intriguing problem. From personal coding experience on my team it seams that creating a 100% autonomous robot would be very plausible. In past years, I've been able to implement code to completely automate driver twos job. Although one difficulty of this is if a sensor breaks or something fails driver two will never trust the code again.

As for a entirely autonomous robot, I agree it's possible but the logic behind it would be massive. I have no doubt it can be done; As the head programmer on my team I find myself automating everything I can with sensors. The two main limits keeping me from pursuing a robot with more autonomy or 100% autonomous robot is time, and resources.

I have no doubt other people have hit similar bottlenecks. As for me, I'm planning on structuring a very modular library of labview code to speed up this process and allow for easy implementation regardless of next years game
