What is this all about? The rule is still the same...there is no difference...all they did was reword it.

In Team Update #3, they state that:

"The height of the tallest stack located in the scoring zone is subtracted from the TOTAL NUMBER OF CONTAINERS to establish the base score."

MEANING that the TOTAL NUMBER OF CONTAINERS refers to ALL of the containers located in the scoring zone.

i.e. INCLUDING THE ONES IN THE TALLEST STACK.

Therefore, this rule is EXACTLY the same as it was before, the update was meant only to clarify the rule. Thus, NEGATIVE SCORES ARE NOT POSSIBLE.

If I'm wrong on this, than I apologize, but it seems to be quite clear that all this talk about negative scores was just a misinterpretation of the rules.

This is a good thing so don't everyone go complaining it's in the spirt of FIRST Which means everyone is a winner.
