Scoring of rotors

It's definitely possible, but it requires all three robots to place a gear. I imagine that situation will be about as common as 70 point autos were for Stronghold.

I'm waiting for the multi gear auto modes from the elite teams a la 2011. Little more complicated since gears must be fully supported by the original robot.

Hm. I hadn't really thought about that. I feel like having an auto that places a gear and scores the 10 pre-loaded fuel would be a more repeatable goal for the elite teams, but I guess we'll see.

I expect three gear/two rotor autos will be even less common because not only do all three robots have to deliver a gear but two humans have to retrieve three gears, then place one of them on the center spot, fit the other two into their spots and spin the crank three times. I just don't think that the pilots will be able to move fast enough for that to happen. I expect we'll see it once or twice but no more than that.

I would just like to point out that there has been no rule against all three robots placing their gear on the close spring. That would make scoring three gears considerably easier and faster than having robots drive to the far side of the airship, turn, and then place their gear.

The team update states that rotors are scored only if they are not previously scored, so I interpret this as a rotor scored in autonomous won't be recounted for teleop.
