Is Autonomous worth it?

The top autonomous score last year was 75, which in many matches was half or more of the total score. This year, the top is only 32. This includes getting the 3 totes stacked, which gives 20 points. My question is, do you think that it is worth the programming hours for vision tracking (which I know does not need to be done)and testing and praying that other robots don't get in the way for a measly 20 points?
