Besides, the only reason nobody works harder on their autonomous programming is because they havent been given a significant reason to.

exactly, I think it would be great to have some points that could only be scored in autonomous mode. Other greater values could be gained during the regular time. Oh, and our team had plenty of troubles during autonomous mode during stack attack. At times we had to purposefully incur a penalty that would disable our autonomous mode because we had no way to turn our autonomous off.

I love the idea that alliances are picked during autonomous, this makes teams think on their feet, and it makes autonomous important, but not extremely vital to teams that don't have a successful autonomous mode
