Normally, in AUTO, I predict that the average robot scores 0. This is to safeguard myself from overestimating (if I were to put a real number on AUTO, I would say 10, but certainly not anything above 15 as some are predicting). I will stick to that trend here. Just look to 2008 to see that something as simple as driving forward should not be considered a "gimme". Also, people seem to forget that some of your robots might be playing as a goalie on the other side, meaning that they will not get those 5 movement points.

After AUTO, teams will spend on average the first 30 seconds scoring the balls that they missed in AUTO, most of these in the low goal. This means that the average alliance still has 0 points*. After that, alliances will have 2 cycles, 1 30 point cycle and 1 20 point cycle, for a total qualification average of 50 points.

*For all intents and purposes, the low goal is worth 0 points.
