Chas_G of Team developed an auton for defending against 469 at Troy. It worked wonderfully (even with their mechanums), and did something similar to what you described.
He also lent his code to many other teams at Troy to use

I'd say we consistently score 1 out of 4. Our best so far is 3 out of 5.
Alot of times the shots are on track, but they bounce off the chains.
Too me it is more important to kick the balls than it is to score them. Although, its really exciting when they do score.

That would explain why I only thought you went for four. Still though, that's a really impressive autonomous mode.
I can agree with the chain issues; it seems that they are the reason a team doesn't score all of their balls in auto (us included!).
And it's definitely more important to get the balls into your zone. Sure, a few points are nice, but with the balls in your zone it allows for two things:
1. Your balls are out of your opponent's home zone 2. The balls are in your home zone, so you can easily score them.
