Re: Odd Autonomous Rules

I believe you are right, a total of 2 CONTAINER SETs should be possible in autonomous.
Remember that there are 3 CONTAINERs in each alliance zone, as well as 4 CONTAINERs on the step in the middle, for a maximum of 7 possible CONTAINERs for each side. This would mean that dragging the 3 CONTAINERs in your zone would be one CONTAINER SET, and dragging 3 containers from the step to the auto zone would be another. This would mean a total of 8 x 2 = 16 points could be accumulated from containers.

When I first saw the game, I had already thought that the alliance who first grabbed the CONTAINERs on the step would have a decent headstart. This is why I wanted my team to create an autonomous that would claim the game elements in the center for that extra point potential.
