Re: [FTC]: Center goal measured from bottom of tube or playing field?

Yep, it's confusing. See this thread to read about other folks discussing their confusion.

1.4.4 defines 6 points per cm of Ball Height and Ball Height is defined as from the bottom of the tube.

But it definitely needs clarification on the Q&A forum.

Perhaps the best argument for why folks think it's not actually measured from the floor is that if it were, then a single cm in the Center Goal would be worth 91*6 = 546 points which is worth more than the maximum points of all of the rolling goals combined. If this were the case, then essentially an alliance with a single ball in the center goal would defeat an alliance with no ball in the center goal almost no matter what the other alliance did.

I'm hoping that the game committee didn't really intend for the game to be that unbalanced, but we won't know for sure until the Q&A forum opens.
