Here's an equation for converting retrieved gears directly into rotors, where GearCount is the integer number of gears *onboard* the airship

Code:
=IF(GearCount>0.5,1,0)+IF(GearCount>2.5,1,0)+IF(GearCount>6.5,1,0)+IF(GearCount>12.5,1,0)
EDIT2: Hi Jared, I disagree with your rotor warning count - a rotor that's started during auto for 60 points, is counted for an additional 40 points at the end of the game. Therefore the warning should only apply to the adjacent cell, not the sum of cells.
I've also added the RP for all 4 rotors spinning, and a task/time breakdown with contributions to score. Uploaded to CD_Media, feel free to use & publish

I read it as a rotor was good for 60 or 40 not 60 and 40. Also only 2 rotors can be started during auto because there are not enough gears to do 3.
