'01 game:
There were x goals that year. (I forget how many...I never went to a competition that year) There were two types of balls...small balls and big balls. (Or was that the year there were yellow&black balls...I think that was '00) Anyways, the four teams WORKED TOGETHER to score as many points as possible by getting the most balls in the goals (and in the right zone?) The team with the corresponding big ball on top of a goal got a multiplier (I think?) The scoring wasn't too great that year...and the comp's didn't sound very competitive. There was also a teeter in the center that if you could balance goals on, you got many points or a multiplier. Gahh...stupid scoring. There was also something if you hit that emergency stop button early...like a point for each second early you finished...(*shrug*)
'00 game:
(my first year)
There were two large, stationary hoppers in the center of the field seperated by a ramp (like this years, but much smaller and carpet-covered) with a bar above the ramp. The hoppers were like 5 or 6 feet in the air. You had yellow and black balls in the field and in the player station. You got 1 point for each yellow ball in the hopper and 10 for each black ball. You got points for having your entire on the ramp; you also got points for having your robot holding itself off the ground by clamping onto the bar above the ramp.

I was around for these two so I'll clairify.
01:
Goals: There were
2 goals, 7ft tall, octogonal, and about 4' wide across.
Balls: There were 2 types of balls. 4 big balls, and 20 smaller balls. The big balls had about an 5' diameter and the smaller balls had about 20" diameter.
Teams: 4 v 0, everyone was an alliance to eachother, working towards a common goal of points.
Multipliers: Each team had a 'clock-stopper' when a team pressed there stopper, power to their bot would be turned off. when all 4 teams have pressed their stopper match time would be stopped. 0:00-0:30 = 1x
0:31-1:00 = 2x
1:01-1:30 = 3x
1:31-2:00 = 4x
Also, in the center of the field a teeter-totter bridge seperated the drivers side from the ball side. 1 Goal was placed in front of the drivers stations, a second was placed at the same point on the other side of the field. Balls were against the back wall.
Balancing goals on the bridge was an additional multiplier to the time.
1 Goal = 2x
2 Goal = 4x
Teams got their points:
small balls = 1pt per ball in goal
big balls = 10 pts per ball on TOP of goal (doesn't fit in)
robot score = 10 points for bot that ends on the oppisite side of the field.
The highest score seen I believe was 720pts.
10 balls + 1 big ball + 4 bots in end zone x 4x (2 goals) x 3x (1:05 remaining)
(10 + 10 + 40) x 4 x 3 = 720 pts

For the most part he was right on the '00 game with minor differences. Black balls were worth 5pts, no points for ramp, 10 for hanging on bar, and the goals were 6' high
