Every historical game I compare the gear cycle shows me there is no way a team will AVERAGE 8 or 9 gears a match by themselves. Some may do it once or twice the entire season.
So that auto would be similar to 2014? We only saw it happen at a handful of events last year, but there it was. I certainly don't imagine that any teams will be averaging 9 gears a match (especially while there is 40kPa to get) but, like you said, we may see it. If I had to guess I would say that a powerhouse team could pull it off, but I may be wrong there. Specifically, the point was about "never" seeing it happen.
