Just as a clarification.

If a robot knocks the ball off the tee within the Autonomous mode:
-Balls will drop onto playing field.

If ball is not removed from tee within Autonomous mode:
-Balls will drop with 1:15 left in game (45 seconds in)

There is no other impact during game play of moving the balls on the tee. They do have a higher value, but otherwise, the mechanisms serve no purpose after Autonomous mode.
