How many balls will you shoot during autonomous?

Look at how many teams consistently did a 2 zone auto (including bump crossing and collecting/kicking balls in the second zone) in 2010. Maybe 10 in the world?

A 2 ball auto in Stronghold basically requires doing both of these tasks sequentially...all in 15 seconds...with a much narrower margin for penalties...into a much smaller goal.

Working 2 ball autonomous modes will exist but they will be more rare than multi-game piece autos in past games. You will never see one robot score three balls in a match in autonomous mode in Stronghold. Jar Nack has spoken.

Agree, and even looking at 2014 where all you have to do was shoot straight forward. I don't expect to see very many balls scored in auto let alone more than one from a single robot.
