(My apologies for the poor quality)

It took me waaay too long to figure out that 254 is in blue. I watched 971 in red like 4 times trying to figure out what I was missing.

Agreed. I'm seen a lot of teams just drive into the portcullis in auto like it wasn't even there. With the right field setup, it's totally feasible to see two 2-ball autos.

Here is another match with better quality and the full auto period.

Great job on this outstanding accomplishment, but there is one thing that doesn't follow the game manual. Inside of rule 3.1.3 it says:

Once a ROBOT CROSSES a DEFENSE in AUTO, any additional REACHES or CROSSES by
that ROBOT during the AUTO period will not decrease DEFENSE STRENGTH nor contribute points to the ALLIANCE.

There are videos where you can definitely see the defense be "damaged." This gives them a 40 point auto if they make both boulders which is amazing, but could really change the play and the outcome of the match, especially towards the end of a regional when one or two points decide the blue banner from the finalists. In this close up video https://t.co/A7wnExCvOp they get credited for crossing the low bar twice. Thanks, and congrats again.

It was a practice match, the ref was probably just having some fun.

Oddly enough, and rather than the "cha-ching" from the tower chains we kept hearing in our ears when 971 & 1678 were raining shots on us like Klay Thompson & Steph Curry in Sacramento, for 254's 2-ball auto and a separate practice match with (at least) 17 made high goal shots (no defense) I saw today with me bare eyes, the sound was more of a high-pitched robo-soprano warning sound followed by a "poof, poof, poof..." of boulders disappearing into a castle tower somewhere deep in the lands of Strongholdia.
