Sounds like our robot, which is encouraging.

If we take my (possibly optimistic) prediction for qual average scores in week 1 (subtracting TNA), we get 72 points. If a robot can make one stack, five totes tall with an RC on top, they get 30 points, or nearly half of my prediction. I want to say that a robot meeting MCC should should earn at least 30 points on its own.

Though, if we take Kevin's view, then my MCC sounds like his Top 8.
