You get points for balls in autonomous, then you get points again at the end of the game. No doubler ball needed. Essentially all balls scored in auto are worth double points.

Balls scored in auton. are essentially worth 15 points if there's a yellow ball in there. Balls scored without auto are worth 10.
It's because the balls are counted at the end of auton -- N balls
Plus whatever was scored during teleop - M balls
thus the point values are
5*[N + (N+M)*2]
or 5*[2N + N + 2M] = 5*[3N + 2M] -- thus since N represents autonomous balls, they're worth 5*3, or 15 points each with the double ball, meaning it's still worth it to do auto
and get the ball. This makes for some very interesting math when making strategies, where impulse decisions can definitely cost you some points.
