Re: Car Nack Predicts 04/06

Despite folks claim of obviousness, it is far for obvious to me, and I am not sure I believe it.

150 points? Common? Hard to get to that number in my book.
To get to 150, teams will have have to put up almost 50 balls in the center goal. Even it you win auton & get 3 robots on the ramp, you still have to put up 30 balls in the center goal. I suppose that there will be fewer than 50 robots in all of FIRST than can put up 30 balls in 10 second of auton + 2 40 second offensive periods. Given that fewer than 1 team in 20 can do it on their own, it will take combinations to really run up that kind of score. Combinations reduce probabilities.

100 points? Yes this is easier, but it is far from a trivial task.

I hope that I am all wet and that we see a ton of 100+ and quarter ton of 150+ point matches.

It is going to be an exciting game if it does happen, that much is for sure.
