I am almost certain there will be a update that either changes the auto to 20 (+40 in teleop = 60), or alters the text that the rotor must have started during the period in which it is scored.
as far as quickly and safely lifting three gears, I also suspect that an update will be made requiring the pilot to drop the lift back down before placing the gear. this is slower, but is a tripping hazard. otherwise the faster thing to do is not reset the lift until the beginning of teleop.
