We expect to be able to autonomously find the goal after a crossing, but do not plan a multi-boulder auto. If we start in the courtyard, we'd have to drive out and back in to the courtyard to score auto crossing points. Unless it's a way to damage the category C defenses in auto or some other alliance coordination tactic, we plan to start on the auto line in front of the low bar, B, or D defense we'll cross.
