Autonomous end game

[Tt321b]

This is a very interesting topic. I would like to see more autonomous but there are a few problems that could come up when at the end of the game.
1) Doesn't the RC need to be reset to re-engage autonomous mode?
2) How would the RC differentiate between the beginning autonomous and ending autonomous?
3) You wouldn't see any last second efforts to race back to your side of the field and jump on a ramp like in the last two years

To encourage teams from spending time in matches setting up and rather spend time in build period programming robust autonomous modes, an even better idea would be to have 3 lights above your alliance station, spread across the field. At the end of teleoperated period, a single randomly-selected light will light up, and THAT is the zone where you receive bonus points.

I like this idea but how would a robot differentiate between the red alliance side and blue alliance side. Do you remember the teaser during the final matches on Einstein last year? The red alliance home zone could have a red light and a blue alliance home zone could have a blue light and have the robot already knows which alliance it is on so it knows where to go.
