There are more complicated 2-ball autos that could avoid being blocked, but considering we went through week 1 without any 2-balls at all, we probably won't see hardly any two ball routines more advanced than 1678's.

It still requires a specialized auto mode, where you're lined up against the secret passage rather than a defense. So either your entire auto mode is preventing a two ball auto (the 1-ball will still work), or you're coming up with a much more complicated (read: more likely to fail) auto mode.

Yes, you can TECHNICALLY defend a 2-ball auto, but I don't believe the tradeoffs are worth it.
