It was just explained on the broadcast. To iterate, for some reason ~1.5 seconds into autonomous mode, the FMS switches from autonomous mode to teleop mode for a split second. After a few milliseconds, the field switches back to autonomous, however the drive encoders on both 1718 and 67 reset themselves, so they drive forwards farther than usual. This makes them miss their shots because they are too far forwards now.

I'll try to find another post about this, I recall 254 having the same issue.
