True but a 2-3 ball auto is orders of magnitude harder than a defense of a 2-3 ball auto. Example, knocking the balls off the center line to anywhere but where the team that is doing the 2-3 ball auto wants them. A multi ball auto might help you capture the tower during quals but I'm not convinced that it secures a regional/championship win once teams can plan out defenses for it.
