I've made it go backwards. Autonomous errors tend to be followed with more "What is this Palardymalarchy?" then match losses, however. Apparently joysticks are messed up so -1 = forward, and WPI dosen't fix this so -1 = forward. That's not what I would expect, so I made +1 = forward and -1 = reverse. Oops. I'm the only programmer, but I never do any major changes without approval of the lead mentors (mostly Jim) or change any of the drive team's controls without asking them. Most of your team would probably be happy with human drivers that can react to issues, mentor suggestions, strategy, etc. and regional wins more then they would like an innovation in control award. I'm not saying I wouldn't do full automation, but that FRC isn't ready for it uet.
