I have to agree with Joel - really hard to get over 610 or 620. Very few teams can balance two goals from off the bridge and get in the endzone. I think somone could design a robot that could pull the stretcher and
score a ball but doing this in 45 seconds?? Not likely. I have been examining scenarios of how one or two robots together could handle the stretcher and make across quickly enough to allow big ball scoring.
(This to allow a 2 goal stay on the bridge robot alliance to beat 700.) 60 points in under 30? I just can't see 2 big balls 2 goals balanced 4 robots in the endzone in under 30.

I think a team that can score 600 everytime is more likely than a team that scores 700 once in a while.

The other factor to consider is practice - the scores go up as the teams get more.
