He said 9 more. The implication is that if you can get the low goals (and if you can't get those, you need a new robot, and quick!), throwing only nets an additional 9 on top of the 1 for the low goal that anybody can get.


In other words, the box-on-wheels can get assist and low-goal points. A throwing robot can add in the truss points, the high-goal points, and possibly the catch points, as well as picking up assists and low goals.
