And yet even spectacular auto like 233 (sorry I haven't seen the others) is worth very little to the game, it ends up being a challenge they did just to prove they could do it. 233 would get at most 24 extra points for that work in a 150 point game. Its not an equivalency that encourages teams to finish early or put resources into auto.
