Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

Seems like 50 + 36 +12 > 36 + 12 + 36 + 12.
You are correct. I made both a spelling and a mathematical error. Thank you for pointing that out.

So it would appear that both methods are extremely similar. Are the dumpers not getting their extra 20, or not climbing consistently for 30? Or are the shooters making more than 3 runs, or hitting more than 2 in autonomous consistently?

The FRC Miner data from Waterford is interesting. 1025, the only 30 point climber, has the most climbing points and an average autonomous. Their teleop score, however, is low enough that teams who shot well and had a consistent 10 point hang beat them. People who were scounting know that 1025 struggled to climb on the second day, reducing their climbing score somewhat. They still seeded 6th, proving that climbing robots can be competitive.
