The first point total was calculated wrong the actual total number of points is 1,727. Only 145 max from lifting a robot.

FYI - Let's make that 2 rings max

<GR2>Robots may Possess no more than two (2) Rings at any time. If a Robot is Possessing more than
2 Rings, the Alliance will be penalized ten (10) points per Ring plus an additional 10 points for
each 5 second interval that this situation continues. Rings will not be legally Scored while a Robot
Possesses more than two (2) Rings (i.e. the extra Ring will not count).
