That is a completely unrealistic expectation.

Top level teams would fight to get 5 teleop runs across the field. Look at load time, drive time, and how long it takes to aim. I think you will find you can't do this on an empty field let alone one that has 5 other robots.
This is like the teams in 2011 that could hang 5 tubes every match if you talked to them but really only hung one or 2. Their belief was what they did on an empty practice field was the same as what they could do in a match.

Also Assuming 100% accuracy is ridiculous. The first shoot will rarely be on target unless you using a very good auto targeting system. History i.e this blog shows 60%-80% accuracy would be a high end team.

I think you are drastically overestimating what teams will really be able to do in 2 minutes. What you described is a PERFECT match.

A more realistic look would be 18 in auto and 3 runs across the field at 66% accuracy resulting in 36 pts. Just remember most teams won't even be able to do that.
