Re: 2 gear autonomous

A 2 gear auto is only worth the effort if all 3 gears get placed on a peg and start roters in auto. Otherwise you haven't accomplished anything worthy of the complexity required for this auto.

I'm not saying it won't happen, because teams are clearly looking at it, but I don't see the benefit of it.

Getting three GEARS up to the pilots in auto means that only 3 are now needed to get the third ROTOR spinning, and "only" nine to complete all four. It might be more about saving time than scoring auto points. Maybe.
