Even less than 15. Robots scoring in autonomous with no "hot zone" recognition will still incidentally score hot points on average half the time. Still, the "percentage points" (to your win probability) add up enough to make it worth it.

(yes I know that the math is different if you assume 2 robots on the same alliance shooting "dumb" into separate goals)
