Autonomous end game

Could lead to interesting strategies.

This is an idea I had earlier this season I'm a huge fan of. Have an option at the end of the game where a team can hit a button of some sort that will put their robot into autonomous control. Teams can stay in manual control and try to finish out the game; however teams that can successfully do the end task autonomously get a 3X multiplier to what they just scored.

Even better, you could set this up to be possible anytime during a match, so that during it you could go into auto-control to get your huge score bonus, then go back to manual mode (obviously this would require some new additions to the field system).
