If you could guarantee yourself 1st and 2nd place in the Minibot race in 2011, the most points your opponent could score was 133; 108 for a perfect rack, 25 for the 3rd and 4th minibots. So you needed 134 to guarantee a win, 84 on the rack plus the 50 you've got with your 1st and 2nd minibots. 84 points on the rack was 3 Ubertubes, two logos up top and one logo mid.
