TorBotsFRC1197 is an unknown quantity at this point
Max score on a single peg

Since ubertubes count as 6 points when placed and also multiply the entire peg's score by two, our team had a small question about scoring.

If we have an ubertube on all three pegs of a top row (during autonomous), then place three tubes on top of these ubertubes, forming the logo, what would the maximum score be?

If the ubertubes are first counted after autonomous, we would now have a total of 18 points (6 x 3). Once we add three tubes on top of these ubertubes (in the form of the FIRST logo), we would add an additional 18 points ([3 x 3] x 2). At the end of the match however, the ubertubes multiply the score of a peg by 2. Does the ubertube placement bonus (the original 6 points) factor into this multiplication or does the top tube solely contribute to the multiplication?
