10 extra points 2 ball auto = 2 HG tele points (extra 12.5% weaken)
20 extra points 3 ball auto = 4 HG tele points (extra 25% weaken)

Since it matters teams will try.

I hear you, Boltman. I definitely see the value. But, in the end, I'm with you, 3175student17.

I just think this is a tougher hill to climb than most teams that attempt it will be able to pull off. Many will try. Few will succeed.
