Even if the auton surrogate bot did get pinned, it demands a resource from the opposing alliance to do the pinning. The whole point is to level the playing field and this does it.

As it was , a stationary trailer was basically the equivalent of an open artery. In 2:15 minutes the short alliance is toast

I am guessing that there are few incidences of an alliance being down one bot w.r.t. the other alliance and not losing. It would be interesting to see the numbers on this.

Another possibility was to not allow scoring on the empty trailer during auton period.
