I think realistically that there will never be any alliances that score zero. With the relative proximity of the human players to their targets at the beginning of autonomous AND the low acceleration from the slick wheels and surface... there should be at least 2 balls in every cart during autonomous...This is a low score of 12 points...

So realistically we are looking at something around a minimum of 6 additional balls being scored at some time and NO scoring by the poor scoring alliance before we see this G14 penalty.

It will be interesting to see what the low score will be.
Now of course, if a team does not show up... then they won't score the 2 balls so we could get a lower minimum.

I get a sneaky suspicion that members of the GDC have already played this out somewhere... looking at the relative rate of success of thrown balls and the possible scores on the field both during autonomous and teleop...and they have learned a great deal more about this than we have at this point...

Now let's all just suck it up and play the game...its just another challenge to overcome and we like challenges don't we?

If this were easy.... everyone would do it...
