All that is needed of the other alliance is for a single alliance member to place a single tote on the step and that's essentially 60 points in autonomous + 10 seconds of teleop.

My thoughts exactly. As with FRC games of late, time is money, so while you may not cash in a lot on the initial auto points, you won't have to spend so much time later in the match. On its own, meh, but with the time saving, well worth it.

Who said anything about turning?
