Here is where I would assume most teams with a consistent hopper auto would be semi-powerhouses. Maybe not on par with 254 or 1114, but they would definitely know what they're doing. That being said, chances are a team with hopper auto capability will most likely also have gear capability, which would mean that at some point in the match, they would be placing that gear, at their convenience. No point in knocking it to the floor only for a floor gear intaker to pick up later, when the hopper bot will most likely be able to score it later anyway.
