Re: How to win Steamworks? (Weeks 1/2)

3. Even if you get 35 balls in or whatever, it's not like this suddenly isn't worth attempting anymore.

All of that said, I don't think this is *necessary* to win in Week 1 and 2, though if you consistently do it I suspect you will seed #1.
+1 to all of this.

The manual says AVERAGE 5 ball/sec can't have an average if you don't have a bigger number than that.

If 1 team scored 30 fuel in Auto it is equivalent to 1 rotor being started in Auto.
Rotor scoring: 40 in tele, 60 in auto. Difference of 20 points
Fuel scoring in high goal: 3 fuel/point/KPA in tele, 1 fuel/point/KPA in auto. 30 balls in tele = 10 points/10KPA, 30 balls in auto = 30 points/30KPA or a difference of 20 points. You're also much closer to that RP than you are with the rotor.
