Multiple robots placing a gear on the peg in auton isn't easy. For dead reckoning, there is approximately +/- 0.75" of margin of error left/right after a robot drives. One team only has to drive 4 feet. The other two teams have to drive approximately 6-8 feet and also possibly turn.
You may say 'just use vision', but it is rarely that simple.
I predict that multiple gears in auton will be as rare as any tower-scoring autons were in 2016. In some regions of the country it will be more common than others - but compared to 2014 and prior autonomous routines it will be very rare.
