Re: ratio of 2-ball autos to G13 infractions

First... I am assuming that you are eliminating G13 infractions that occur when robots are not attempting 2-boulder auto routines....

There will likely be more successful auto routines than infractions because:
* Most teams will not even attempt a 2-boulder auto. Those that do will generally know what they are doing.
* Teams with a 2-boulder auto will generally know whether or not it will work before they get to the court. If it's not working, they will just do a much simpler 1 boulder shot.
* Because of the penalty for failure, teams who are not comfortable with their routine, will not try it in a match.
* Some attempts at the routine will fail elsewhere (getting hung up in a defense, for instance) and not have the opportunity to cross the mid-line.
