What you are seeing is exactly what some of us expected. Early events will be dominated by auton + floor load, but that will change as the season progresses...at least that is the theory. Math supports this claim.

I agree; happy accident. I don't know either team the way Paul knows them. I suspect that they both performed an analysis of the game and came to their conclusions. Both are very competitive ... again. Neither relies on an alliance partner to be effective; that is, either can play the game very effectively.

The floor loading advantage in auton (24 points) offsets the additional points for climbing to level 3.

I think 2056 evaluated the game very well and delivered an excellent machine which executes a very effective strategy. Well done 2056.
