Just drive really fast from the starting position to one of the two "channels" between the middle goals, and patrol there, block the opponents efforts to disrupt the alliance, and enable your alliance to score points during autonomous! And maybe if the simple little box on wheel teams wasn't "quite there" with their autonomous software, a vision-tetra-capping-capable alliance partner that wanted them to fulfill that role might even be able to just give them the simple autonomous routine that they needed while they were at the competition! That seems like a pretty cool idea! Who'da thunk o' dat?!

Sorry if I'm coming a bit late to the party. I was out in the alley with a group of weirdos muttering about Amethyst colored glasses, hexagons, and Beatles albums while you were thinking up all this stuff, so I might be a bit behind the curve.
