Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2009's Week 1 Regionals

Dear Future Self and Future Readers of this thread,

At this point, I have not actually set foot on the playing field, nor attempted to score any Orbit Balls. I have felt how slippery the KOP wheels are on an equivalent of the playing field.

That said, here's my guestimate: 53

That figures each standing human/robot combination can deliver 10 balls apiece. I think Robot-to-Robot deliveries will be VERY difficult, and it will be darn near impossible to drive around collecting balls. Also, I think the sitting HP will have a reduced range and accuracy, so I predict he'll make 3 balls. Then, just for kicks, lets say an alliance makes a Super Cell in about 50% of matches.

Intuitively, this seems like an awfully high average score for an FRC game, especially one as different as this one.
