Leaving the zone is 50 pts. In that match the red robots had 1 ball each, 2 total. So we were preventing 20 points at most .

This is interesting because it is actually more complicated than that. You also have to factor in the cost of a missed auto ball.
One could consider this 'ungracious' or egregious (red card), but it's technically within the rules (just as famous examples of rule loopholes):

254's autonomous drives -> waits in a relatively predictable position -> shoots (with 3 balls).
1114 take the 50pt foul but in doing so ram straight in to 254, knocking their robot off course before they shoot. Now the net loss is only 20 points AND all three balls are still on the field.
So Red would be winning (assuming all HOT) and Blue would have to still clear 3 auto balls. Huge advantage.

Have I missed something?
EDIT: I think Chris Endres beat me to it.
