For those who don't want to tip their hand that they can do it... Film it on the practice field and have the video evidence available to the scouts you wish to influence.

Hoping to see a 7 shot middle, 5 shot wing, 3 shot other wing combo on Einstein. 90 in auto will be most impressive. Seeing two alliances both trying for it with a potential auto crash at the center of the field also highly entertaining.
I'm pretty sure it's far easier to defend against a center line auto than it is to actually make one. Driving backwards to the center without floor collection is a 5 min addition to any teams code. I can't imagine the center line autos working that well in the championship elimination rounds.
