Re: Anybody starting to think scores will be higher than previously thought?
Having watched the PNW practice tournament, I think scores in the 30s and 40s are going to be lot more common. Those tetras are slippery little things, and even the best robots are going to fumble them sometimes. Add in the fog of war with five other 'bots in the same arena, and scoring is going to be modest.

How about one of those 12-foot-tall towers with its horizontal element extended to place a tetra getting nudged briskly from behind at just that same moment? There is going to be lots of mayhem that doesn't even violate the rules. Unless I'm coaching I don't intend to be standing within 10 feet of the field...
