I feel like this devolves into making 3-tote auto de facto worth 50 points. Getting 3 totes on the step is essentially only feasible quickly by teams who have 3 tote, and it's possible that not every elimination alliance will have such a robot, nor will every 3-tote capable robot effectively, quickly or at all be able to transport 3 totes to the step. Changing this to become a 50 point deficit affects the strategic analysis of a lot of teams, unfairly disadvantaging teams that chose to forsake coop/3 tote capability in the main season by making up those points elsewhere. I wouldn't consider it a minor change.
