Team 40, Checkmate, has probably the most impressive auto mode I've seen this year, scoring at least 6 for 7 in auto during most of their matches. The turret-swerve drive combo is deadly, allowing them to point the turret and wheels in the same direction and just head straight for any trailer. They were actively tracking (and scoring on) moving trailers during auto. It's a shame they won't be going to champs.
