Re: Auto Rotor Point Total?

And, to get all 4 ROTORS spinning, the alliance needs 13 total GEARS, and the alliance only starts out with 3 at the beginning of AUTO.
Is there some magic happening that I don't see?

there is nothing preventing you from dumping a hopper in auto. We are seriously considering what it would take to deliver a gear, dump a hopper (catching 50), then shooting half of the balls at each goal simultaneously. As long as you start shooting with >8 seconds left, it should all process in time.
