I think that shooting high is a bit harder, but still lots of teams will do it.
the main problem will be scaling, it is very hard to put almost 2 meters of climbing mechanism into 40 cm robot (sorry for metric system lol), especially if you want to shoot high and scale the tower.
you will see the best teams do it all, but I think that it will be 20 teams max.
2 ball autonomous seems much harder than the 20 point for stacking 2 yellow totes last year and that a 1 out of 30-40 ish skill last year (meaning 1 team out of 30-40 could reliably accomplish that task in a match). I suppose that 2 ball auton is closer to a 1 out of 100 ish skill meaning at most 30 to 40 teams in the world will be able to do this reliably. And as I type that, I don't believe it. No Sagi34 is right. more like a 1 out of 200 ish skill for 20 teams max.
