These max scores are impossible.
1. You cannot fit 40 black balls in or on the goals.
2. No way you can do all this in less than 30 seconds. I bet even if 4 people tried to do it (instead of robots) it still could not be done in less than 30 seconds!

I know many teams out there are doing what we are doing - developing a scoring simulator to run through many scenarios to see what the optimum score can be. If you do this right, your simulator will account for difficulty factors in doing each of the scoring tasks.

: The max score is 1452 I think. You forgot to take into account the stretcher. If all four robots are in the endzone plust the stretcher, you get 50 points so the max is (50+40+20)*2*2*3*1.1 = 1452. This isn't very likely to happen though, but we can always hope.

: : I was thinking last night as I miserably failed to fall asleep, about the scoring system for this year. The maximum possible score, I think, is 1320. That's if all small balls (40) are in goal plus two big balls (20pts) plus 4 robots in endzone (40pts), and you have two goals on balanced bridge (x2x2), and match ends in first 30 seconds (x3), plus 10% for one of your balls is on the goal. (40+40+20)*2*2*3*1.1 = 1320. Did I miss anything?
