Good point. However, if you did do this, by employing a strategy that purposefully generates a foul (repeatedly), you are going quite seriously against the spirit of FIRST.
That being said, I am almost certain that the rules intended for autonomous rotors to be 60 points total, not 60 then 40. This would make the tech foul for taking the reserve gear and powering a rotor more of a penalty than the point bonus for getting an auto rotor. (you get 20, they get 25).
