I've honestly been considering a 25 point auto (just take the foul, 5 points and -1 tower is worth it) but We'd need a better gyro and drive encoders to do that
We have not done it in a match yet, we have been waiting for the programmers to get on-board vision implemented and improve our vision aiming speed. The reveal was done entirely by dead reckoning(our in house proof of concept that we weren't deluded), we now have the means to make it viable for live match play. I better not have been at the shop until 3:30am last night for nothing.

I believe that there are 2 FOULs at play here.
One is a violation of G41(During each CROSSING, a ROBOT may not cause more than one (1) BOULDER to move from the NEUTRAL ZONE into the opponent’s COURTYARD.) which will land you with a TECH FOUL which is 5 points and adds 1 STRENGTH to their TOWER.
Second is G38(ROBOTS may not control more than one (1) BOULDER at any time.) which gets you a 5 point FOUL per Boulder.
Additionally, you are likely to get a Yellow Card if you continue to violate these rule repeatedly and on purpose.
So you get 30 points and -2 STRENGTH for the 2 balls scored and your crossing in Auto, then they get +1 STRENGTH and 10 points. Net result is 20 points and -1 STRENGTH, so nothing and is harder.
