 At the start of each competition, the robot is placed in "autonomous mode" where it operates independently to perform a sequence of required tasks.  The autonomous operation is controlled by the robot's [http://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.roborio.html on-board computer] running software that monitors the robot's environment using sensors and interacts with it using ''actuators ''(e.g. motors) driving mechanisms (arms, levers, etc.).  To accomplish tasks, the software must determine the robots location and position, locate the objects it must interact with, move to them and manipulate them with its actuators, all without human intervention. 
 
-Autonomous operation is among the most advanced aspects of FRC competition; the Autonomous portion of each competition is short (15 seconds at the start of each 2 minute match) and the robot earns points for each task it accomplishes independently.  Because many teams are not able to field robots with sophisticated Autonomous operation, point values are often high, even for relatively simple tasks.
