Re: Is the Boiler worth it?

One way to look at the Boiler is it worth it?

Its the only scoring method that is available all game... with unlimited game pieces

In gears you have "pay as you go" at 0 (40/60) 2 (40/60)- 4 (40) -6(40+ RP/100)

In climb you have 30 secs to get 50 at endgame

Fuel is the only way to continually score all game ...so its a DIFFERENTIATOR and definitely has worth...

Simple example Both teams with gears in auto/tele at 120, both alliances climb
so far a TIE at 270 who wins? the alliance that scored 1 point with Fuel (1 HE auto, 10 HE tele or 30 LE tele) that is 2 RP.

This alone makes potential boiler capability on an alliance worth it. to win those matches 271 to 270
