Autonomous will be huge because scoring one uber-tube high in autonomous can turn a logo worth 18 points into a logo worth 30 points (6 from auto and 6 from the multipliers), the same as a winning mini-bot. If you get two teams each scoring an ubertube on one high logo, then you turn a logo worth 18 into a logo worth 42, and that with only 3 telop tubes and 5 tubes total. Without any ubertubes it would take 2 top row logos plus a 3 random tubes in the middle to match this score. That's 9 tubes that need to be placed in telop in comparison to 3. Auto gives a team huge advantage in the tube section, giving them a little bit more leeway in the minibot race.
