Re: Using the Drawbridge/Sallyport or not?

15 points, actually.

What, you can't get through those in auto? Great way to tack on some extra points, that. (In all seriousness, my team will go through the Sally Port in auto at least as easily as in teleop.)

If you can do either one solo and quickly, that'll be really helpful to your alliance.
