Re: ratio of 2-ball autos to G13 infractions

It's easy to make up 5 points of fouls for grazing the auto line, but not so easy if contact is made with the opponents. So the risk/reward is there to 'race' the opponent and to attempt the 2-ball before the robot is 100% perfect.
Oddly specific case but okay. I can tell you right now some teams are going to do a 2 (or potentially more) ball auto without ever pulling a G13.
