Second round, the team that wins auto now has picked up some balls, and ideally their back bot is full to the brim.
Matt,

How is the back bot full to the brim? How many balls are going to be on the offensive side after you just WON auton? Are the human players from the other team going to fill your bot up? The back bot will hardly ever be full to the brim unless it didn't dump it's load in auton.

However, I agree with you on the other points. One you didn't mention is the fact that playing defense first allows you to have 80 seconds of continuous offense and know what score you have to beat (think college football overtime). Your number of transitions (think basketball) is reduced so you spend less time traveling and more time scoring.
