The point of me saying that is that a goalie cannot effectively block a truss shot, meaning it's not exactly effective to do hot zone auton with all 3 balls, move forward, and then in teleop shutdown the goals. Truss shots can give you the same amount of points as a high goal shot alone.
You can only get a max of 20 points (truss and catch) before actually scoring the ball. So if you never complete that cycle you will max out at autonomous plus 20. It is entirely possible to to get ahead in auto and never have to score again to win.
