2*256 + 1*32 + 5*8 + 3*4 = 596

Then even if they pick up all 5 other robots on the field, that's 746. Are there other point-scoring I'm missing, or is there a more optimal rack arrangement?
I think we all have to realize that this means scoring one tube every six seconds. that alone would be pretty cool.
