2 things: how many people are going for a two ball autonomous? And how many teams are planning on detecting the presence of a goalie?

Blocking a shot in autonomous can be much more influential than the initial rejection of the 10 or 20 points. After autonomous, the team must score the ball that was blocked in order to begin their cycles.
