By the way, you weren't looking at any spy-bots by any chance, were you?

Not spy bots. I have noticed it more with the low bar. Although I have seen it happen on other defenses as well. In one match I watched today (shame on me for not writing down the match or team numbers) one team opened the sallyport from tower side then second team drove over to door and held it while first team drove completely away second bot then drove part way into sallyport as not to let door close then first bot came in and both crossed one after another. Only one cross was given.
I am not saying things aren't going to be missed, and I am quite certain that if I were a ref I would also miss things. But I would make sure at a minimum that teams that cross in auto would absolutely get the points earned.
I see first hand how much time and effort gets put into not just the building of the robot, but the effort programming puts forth to improve and get various auto programs to work well. Again I expect things to be missed during teleop with so much going on, but in auto there isn't a single reason a cross should be missed.
