N>3 manually-assisted shots that go in at the beginning of the 1st teleop period, instead of M>3 attempted shots during autonomous that go awry erases the autonomous bonus; and puts you in good shape for getting accurately reloaded by human players before the 3rd teleop scoring period.

I have a hard time remembering that far back, but as I recall it, during SVR we either had no autonomous or an auton that pretty much sucked. I'd have to go back and look at those videos but I don't recall there being any strategy to lose autonomous.

We definitely did not have a very reliable autonomous until championships.
