Effectively 20 possible points.

However, it is very likely another robot will be low bar capable so we took 5 points off. And, its also likely we can do an auto while breaching obstacles like rough terrain, ramparts, the moat, and the rock wall so we knocked down another 5 points.

It is not the most scientific way of thinking but imo its a decent rationalization of the point values up for grabs.
Actually, the MAX you can get out of the low bar is 15 points (solo, at any rate). You can't get crossing points twice in auto. One auto, one telop, after that it's Damaged and no more points are awarded.

But yes, I see how you're thinking. I kind of like that line of thought.
