If you want to talk about stealing - suspend the penalty for crossing the midfield line in auton - steal ubertubes from would-be 2/3 tube scorers. That would lead to too many robot collisions and bad juju due to misaligned robots going off who knows where. But it would be a fun dynamic when it worked.
Since Ubertubes can be scored in teleop, you wouldn't have to steal them in auton. And if one fell into the opponent's Zone ... well, what's a 3-point penalty compared to scoring another Ubertube?
