Each team has 21 Tubes (9 tubes on the field, 9 in home zone, 3 for autonomous)

There are 24 spots on the rack

- - 0 0 0 0 0 -
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

you have a total of

3 x Rows/Columns of Two = 3 * 2^2 =3 * 4 = 12
5 x Rows/Columns of Three = 5*2^3= 5*8 = 40
1 x Rows/Columns of Five = 1 * 2^5 = 32
2 x Rows/Columns of Eight = 2 * 2^8 = 2 * 256 = 512

Bonuses
2 x Robots Lifted 12" = 2 * 30 = 60
(this is assuming you do not have an unpowered anti gravity machine for the 3rd bot)

Grand Total = 12 + 32 + 40 + 512 + 60 = 656 points!

Hope that helps!
