Absolutely, if two robots some how coordinate to cross through the same defense in auto it would be destroyed. However based on the layout of where u must start in auto that will be rather hard and I think you will Rarely see this happen until high levels of play with elims. What I think its also important to note (just for the sake of providing more details) that due to the wording of the crossing in auto section (around 3.1.1 I think?) that once you complete the crossing of the defense you take 1 health from it and get 10 points, and from that point on cannot Reach or Cross the outerworks again (in auto) for points or damage to the health. This means that once you cross and gain those 10 points the only other thing that will get you more points is to score a ball.

Yes this includes those extra 2 pts many people think you get for backing up to the outworks for the reach points in the end.
