It is definitely "worth more" than just doing it in teleop. 1678 wouldn't do things like this for no reason.

It's worth more both points-wise and time-wise. Alliances who can score a combined 3 balls in autonomous have to shoot a little more than half as many balls as they would have otherwise. Teams with two-ball autos will be able to get captures more frequently, rank higher, and have a higher chance to win.
