That sounds like a good idea Travis. However, some things to consider:

Teams use different framework codes - IFI's, Kevin Watson's, WPILib, EasyC. Each would need a different autonomous mode.

Teams use different pwm outputs for their drive motors, making it not truly a drop-in.

Teams use different gear ratios for the motors, so without encoders (or something similar, that regardless makes the whole routine a lot less drop-in-able) it would be hard to travel the same distances. While crossing the first line should be doable regardless, trying to add the turn would take more work.
