Re: Scoring of rotors

As far as our team currently understands it:

Rotors are scored if they are turning at T=0 of a period (per the scoring chart on page 42 of the manual). They are not scored when they start turning. An indicator is on the first two rotors (as per page 23 of the manual) because they are the only two which can possibly be powered during autonomous (maximum of 3 gears can be lifted during auto). There is however, no discussion of that indicator causing such a rotor to not be scored at the T=0 of the tele-op period. In our thoughts (but we wait for some official decision), the score for such a rotor is as follows:

Autonomous ends (T = 0) -> 60 points per rotor spinning
Tele-op ends (T = 0) -> 40 points per rotor spinning.

Each rotor started in auto is effectively worth 100 points by the end of the match.

Making the maximum points for engaging rotors 200 (auto, 2 rotors) + 160 (tele, 4 rotors) + 100 (playoffs bonus) or 1 RP (quals bonus), for 460 points, or 360 points and an RP.

Note, the logistics of powering the 2nd rotor during autonomous: not only must you deliver all 3 gears to their lifts, the 2 pilots must then lift the 3 gears and place them properly (this means one pilot must lift 2 gears within 15 seconds, safely) then make 3 rotations of the second rotor. This process must be complete within 15 seconds, as the rotor must be spinning at T=0 of auto.

[b]TL : DR[\B] - as of current rules, 60 points for auto + 40 points per tele-op, even if it started spinning during auto = 100 points. Can get 2 rotors during auto, but very difficult in the time limit.
