What you laid out is the only reason I think we might see a 2 gear auto occur. If you already have a hopper autonomous robot, and you only really do gears, then you might as well try for 2. You also won't see it at virtually any Regionals/District events, because you're not getting a reliable 1 gear auto from your 3rd pick there.

On Einstein though, I would rather see someone pull off the double hopper auto Chris laid out.
