I went back and looked at our team videos and scores. I don't have the figures in front of me, but as I remember it made the difference in 1-3 games a regional. When you are playing for the top positions, one game makes the difference. This is not theory but actually looking at the games played. We might have lost a regional championship because the auto mode failed and one more tube and we would have won. It was that close.
Plus when other teams are sitting there during the 15 seconds you are scoring and that makes you stand out and teams want you and will pick you. As you said the winning teams had auto modes.
We were in Einstein this year and ask our team, auto mode helped us get there.
