You can easily shoot from the same spot (Key/Fender anyone) but the trick to it is that you have to be shooting from that exact roughly the same spot. The multiball autonomous was "simple" because it was shoot two, straight back/ram bridge, straight forward while loading balls, shoot two+ from roughly the same spot. That gets more difficult this year because you could do start 3, forward 2, back shoot, BUT you'd have to go under the pyramid. It'd be simpler if you could shoot three, forward, shoot two from inside the pyramid for a 5 frisbee autonomous. 7 frisbee autonomous is trickier still, which is why I'm say it's more difficult. Compressing all this into 15 seconds is exponentially more difficult.
