Do Nothing Autonomous

Hey just a thought,

One of the things that I found to be pretty common during the regional at Philadelphia was teams that lacked the ability to do nothing during Autonomous mode. Whenever that team wanted to skip autonomous in favor of the other teams program, the human player was forced to wait longer than 10 seconds to get back on the pad. The problem is, one must get back in 15 seconds, or suffer some really bad consequences. And to top it all off, everyones worrying about these penalties. This is grief nobody needs. So, all i suggest is that one of your modes is to simply sit there (127 all around). If you don't have a switch(s), you could just make another copy of your program and download before the match. Anyway, this makes it guaranteed that (given that the human player is fast enough) there wont be an issue if the robot moves or you get penalties. So I think it would be a good idea for teams to have this as an option. What do you think?
