You can say that again.

In the first game of the finals at Lake Superior Regional, the score was 100 to 101. The winning alliance was able to move one Litter to the landfill in the last few seconds. Without the move, the other alliance would have won 104 to 100.

I'm preparing our team to throw litter as needed in weeks 5 and 6 hopefully by then litter throwing will NOT be a factor as is it "grey's" competition ..but be prepared anyhow! A good team should not need throw any litter to win IMO. But IF challenged should respond in kind..as in being prepared.

Great robot play 10/10

Had a similar result in Inland Empire, red won barely before blue litter was factored in. F-2 swung on this.

On a related note, our human player got all 10 noodles across for a perfect 40 points during the quarterfinals of the Georgia Southern Classic Regional. Without that perfect game, we wouldn't have advanced to the semifinals. Has anyone else seen all 10 thrown successfully across?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the "Litter" score shown on the scoreboard also includes the 6 pts for each litter placed in an RC, no?
My point being that sometimes those high litter scores you see are not due to accurate throwers, but rather to teams going for maximum points by placing the litter where (IMHO) it really belongs. |
Re: pic: Litter scoring affects match outcomes!
I really feel like that litter shouldn't be worth so much but it is what it is.
I also really don't like that one of the core mechanics of this game is promoting throwing trash into your competitions work space, that is just rude. |

I would love for the GDC to adjust the litter points to 2 or 3 for thrown. While they are impressive to score and should be valuable, I don't think they should be valued about equal to the maximum you can get with a stack, it makes seeding matches just that more wonky with co-op thrown in. I really didn't expect to see the level of noodle throwing we saw at Georgia though, 1466 was an absolute noodle machine.
