Re: Advantage given by succesful autonomous mode

I may be wrong, but the maximum an alliance can score during autonomous is 8pts, and no other advantage (ie, go on defense first, or score additional pts).

I want to really emphasize what other folks have said, by offering this perspective. At the end of the autonomous mode you haven't scored any points. No referee computes a score at the end of Auto during this game, and no bonus is given to anyone. So, don't think at all about what your score is at the end of Auto....
Instead at the end of Auto you should think about how your alliance is now positioned for having an expected score (high, low or medium) at the end of the match.
This year's Auto is about accomplishing objectives that prep your alliance for the rest of the match, not about writing down a score at the end of Auto. Computing your score at that moment is akin to asking the proverbial "wrong question".
