A particularly good robot may be able to cross the defenses, shoot a ball, go back into the neutral zone, grab a second ball, and then cross back into the courtyard and shoot a second time.

However, this rule seems to kind of impede that:
G13 During AUTO, ROBOTS may not enter the volume above the MIDLINE.

If you're not allowed to touch the midline, it seems difficult to grab the balls in the center.
Would a two ball auto still be possible?
In theory it is still possible. It would mean you would touch the ball only and not touch the midline. It would be a challenge but it would still be a challenge.
