Go to Post It would be wise to consider the reasoning behind the statement rather than the statement itself. Sometimes they are right... other times their statement is incomplete... and other times they really do have no clue what they are talking about. - dtengineering [more]

I just don't know how it could be done...
Could it be.....
- first X seconds are auto
- last X seconds are auto
- You switch it into auto mode and score more points for every second you are in auto mode
- Do field elements emit signals?
- Will robots be required to carry signal emitters (like an inferred beacon)

What kind of sensors will we get? Gyro, IR, touch, stuff to build our own? (line followers, proximity, distance, etc...)

Lots of fun...
Running it in autonomous mode would make scouting and strategizing very intense because you would actually know how the robots would perform if you knew how they had performed in previous matches...the skilled scouter who knew the sensors and programming of the robots in the match might be able to predict the outcome if its totally autonomous or how the robots are going to end up when the leave autonomous mode. If this is the case, this is going to be extremely interesting.
