It is true that you can't start with 2 keepers in your possession but that isn't what was said here. If you set up the same way that you did with one of your alliance partners touching the keeper you could grab it at the start of auto mode with your second gripper.

Personally I don't feel that GP has anything to do with this situation. I consider this thinking outside the box. Scoring 2 tubes in auto mode is a feat which has not been done and requires this kind of thinking. I put this situation along with others I saw throughout the season, such as teams who get a ringer stuck on a flag choosing to keep scoring in order to get a long row enough to win; if you could get a row of 7 or 8 it seems worthwhile because in most situations you could still loose. IMO knowing the action and the consequences there are times in which taking a penalty can help your alliance and that has nothing to do with GP.
