Very cool.
According to my calculations, that stack is valued at a whopping 42 points.

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

How?

Assuming the 7th tote is above the backstop, it is worth 12 points.

If we assume the backstop is infinitely tall without more levels above level six, it would be worth 52 points (22 tote, 24 container, 6 litter).

If we assume the backstop is infinitely tall with more levels above level six, it would be worth 72 points (22 tote, 44 container, 6 litter).

I count 12. None of the totes above 6 score because they are above the backstop, thus the bin is not "supported by only scored gray totes" and is worth 0. Better off making your six-stacks, but this is really cool.

While obviously illegal that is pretty cool 885. Very few teams could pull that off from a skills perspective.

Cool! If they can do this, they should have absolutely no problems putting together a bunch of capped and noodled 6-tote stacks at their next event.

I'm one of the mentors for Team 885.

We know this isn't really a scoring opportunity; we did it JUST FOR FUN!

Yes, the robot did it, not very quickly of course.

Woah woah woah, we do robotics for fun? xD

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

Now that's pretty sweet!

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

No clue why everyone has to take this so technically. This clearly isn't serious. Nice job, and glad to see that you're having fun. I'm excited to see your robot in action. Good luck!

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

Very cool! But I'm glad I wasn't there to help you take it down :) I'm barely tall enough to help with a six stack!

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

they would still be scored because they are on a scoring platform

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

Not illegal, it just doesn't count for much (as pointed out in other posts).

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

They'd probably have to bring the Ultimate Ascent nets back to the field perimeter if robots were able to stack them that high. Very cool!

Re: pic: This stack goes to up to 11!
 

But they're over the top of the backstop, which is specifically listed as no tote points, and then you get the RC not on a scored tote--I do believe that there are no fewer than 5 unscored totes between the RC and the uppermost scored tote--which invalidates both the RC and the litter.



The real question though: Can you guys do 12, or are you already trying to put a hole in the ceiling?
