Entirely this. If you make a floor pickup that you only ever use in autonomous, you'll be in the top 8. The ability to score 42 points alone in autonomous will win most matches.
Assume you're on an alliance with two robots that can preload and score 3 frisbees each. If you can score 3, pick up the remaining 4 on your side of the field, and score those, you have the potential of starting the match with 78 points. If only you score, you're still at 42.
