Re: Importance of Autonomous

Now that I run trough the numbers it seems like the autonomus is a good point boost but wouldn't be enough to upstage something as big as the minibots, but still valuable. Assuming that there are two strong alliances that will all hang two logos each on the top row ubertubes are worth 12 points. From what I've seen in week 0 matches I think strong alliances can score an ubertube a (top) rack easily enough but to score 2 on the same top rack was hard. That 12 points could really make a difference with two closely matched alliances.

By the numbers an extra 12 points couldn't change the outcome of a minibot race, however an upertube under a top row logo is equal to an entire middle row logo. The ubertube is one tube that essentially holds the value of three tubes plus the time to score them minus the ability to score them on the top row.
