I was reading throughout the game manual, and I haven’t found anything suggesting that, by using the AprilTags to autonomously drop water drops, the amount needed is reduced like last year. I was wondering if I’d missed anything or if this is how the game will be this year.

[Phase 3.2 - Scoring] Teams don’t get a reduction of balls if autonomously detected and dropped, you are simply getting additional points if you use April Tags.

For every window you put out autonomously your team gets +2 points.
