Now, that could be as simple as the 2014 "drive forward at all in auton" bonus, in a game without other drive-to-score objectives, but it does imply that a drive base can play some aspect of the game.
I'm not sure if 2014 had the drive forward auto bonus, but I think 2015 did. In Arial Assist, it was probably possible to score with just a drive base, as it could push balls into the low goals and/or catch them. With Recycle Rush, a drive-only robot could score a maximum of 2 points at a time by pushing one tote onto the step, though other robots could add to the stack. Defense is an option for a "just drive" robot if possible(no defense in 2015).
