Get to work!
False!

Wait for hot goal
shoot
move forward

or if your alliance members can't make auto shots:

shoot
pick up ball
shoot again
move forward


There isn't any point in trying to get both balls in the hot goal since it only shows up on the side you start on for 5 seconds at a time and moving to shoot for the other one is time consuming.

And a system that tries to find the other teams ball is pointless because a smart alliance would position the robots such that the ball ends up in a known location.

No work to get to!
