To shorten up my last post: An "undamaged" Defense would be either uncrossed or crossed once. If crossed twice it would be "Damaged".
(Unless of course it was crossed twice by the same robot in the Auto Period, since you can only score a single crossing with a single robot in auto, a second crossing of any Defense will not score any further points accrued concerning that particular robot and any of the Defense units/items/structures).
It does not mean you cannot cross them again, just do not expect the crossing to score points or cause damage or actions to them.

The real question needing Q & A answered.
Can a Team make the decision to start "their boulder loaded robot" in the Spybot Position for Auto, shoot and score, turn their robot and cross a Defense from Courtyard area to Neutral Zone direction (does that crossing now also score), then carefully pluck another boulder off the Midline (without entering the volume above the midline of course, which would/could draw a foul), load the boulder, return across any Defense shoot and score said boulder? If the robot were to get completely into the neutral zone...Would the first crossing to the neutral zone, or the second crossing back to the courtyard be the crossing that scores...or any of the crossings of the Defense in that particular listed scenario.
Another question to add to the above scenario: What if said robot after the second Auto Boulder shot returned to the Neutral Zone and approached the OUTERWORKS area and ended the Auto Period with their front or rear robot bumper in the proper 2 point scoring area.....Would they also be rewarded the appropriate 2 points for the APPROACH in Auto.
(32 Points?)
So many Auto scoring variables/possibilities on that same tilt:
Start in the Neutral Area/Boulder loaded, cross straight across a Defense scoring 10, Shoot Boulder High scoring 10, reverse path across same defense 0 score, end in proper Approach position 2=Total score 22 Points?
