It has come up that this year's equivalent to last year's 5 disk auto mode is the two ball auto mode. If one of your two alliance partners can't shoot high goals, take their ball and place it in front of your shooter. First shoot your ball, then pick up and shoot theirs. This gets you 35 total auto points instead of 20, if it had just sat on the ground.

The defense against such a two ball auto mode is to park a tall defensive bot in their shot line before the match. Rather than being useless, that appendage now becomes worth 35 points. (Unless the shooter has the ability to sense the blocker and rotate to shoot around the appendage.)
