Odd Autonomous Rules

I have reviewed the autonomous rules over and over and something strikes me as being odd.
3.1.2.1 AUTO
During AUTO, points are awarded for ROBOT SETS, TOTE SETS, CONTAINER SETS, and STACKED TOTE SETS. A ROBOT SET
occurs when all ROBOTS on an ALLIANCE move themselves to, and are fully contained by, their AUTO ZONE at the end of AUTO.

A TOTE SET exists if all three (3) Yellow TOTES from an ALLIANCE are fully contained by the AUTO ZONE, but do not meet the
requirements of a STACKED TOTE SET, at the end of AUTO.
A CONTAINER SET exists if any three (3) RECYCLING CONTAINERS are fully contained by the AUTO ZONE at the end of AUTO.


As for scoring, a tote set is 6 points, while a container set is 8.

So if a robot only pushes one tote to the auto zone, would the not receive any points since not all three are in the auto zone? And is each container placed in the auto zone worth 8 points, or does your alliance receive 8 points as long as one container is in the auto zone? If you received 8 points per container in auto zone, wouldn't that be heavily prioritizing the containers if three totes was worth 6, while three containers were worth 18? I feel as if it could be implying that each tote is worth two points, but it says points are awarded for tote sets, and tote sets is defined above. This being said, I am afraid that if it requires all three totes in the auto zone, it would make it a lot harder for simple box on wheels bots to score in auto other than the moving in a robot set, especially in qualification rounds when not all robots will be able to move in auto?
