Even that would be a time crunch.

We managed that kind of autonomous, just, with the Wired Cats (2415) in 2012. They had a good shooter and 270 degree intake. All that 57 and 3997 had to do was feed them balls from the back and side at the right times to avoid controlling >3. And in our case, drive forward and tip the bridge to steal those balls. We JUST managed to get this programmed and tested over lunch. And 15 seconds was just about enough time to get it done.
Grainy video evidence here. So a successful 3 robot rube-goldberg auton in which all of the robots started perfectly positioned and none of the robots moved before the ball hand-off. And yes, it was 6 shots instead of 3, which would be slightly more time consuming. But still. 3 robots perfectly positioned, not moving.
But your thing? Yeah, I can see whipping that autonomous ballet out over lunch. I can't wait for the
grainy video evidence for that one.
