I don't know that we'll see it at CMP, but offseasons? Not impossible.
You don't even have to drop. Pushing a UT to the right place for pickup could do it. In either case, the commentary regarding the relative reliability of auto routines would apply. Giving up a certain 4 or even 2 points for a possible score by a single 'bot is akin to the slam-dunk. The term has come to mean a more reliable process than the actual on-court results. Showing off is best reserved for a show and not a game.
