I had thought of that too, and it would certainly be complicated, but I bet it could be done. If you wanted to bump up to another level of complexity, have an auto that cross and shoots, uses vision to detect which balls are still available (supposing the other alliance has a two-ball auton), and then crosses the requisite defense to get that second ball.

The simple answer is you don't. But, you've got to admit that it'd be pretty cool.
