Re: Ubertubes order of operations

My math stands
<G64> only applies in the autonomous mode. So the 6 point value of the ubertubes is only calculated then.
<G65> Peg scoring only utilizes the ubertubes as a positional multiplier on the logo piece.
<G66> Only applies the complete logo bonus on the peg scoring calculation.

Best case: Your alliance manages to get three ubertubes on the top row of one scoring grid in the autonomous mode. (18 points) Then the alliance scores three logo pieces on each position (3*2 = 6 each, or 6*3 = 18 for the row) Then applying the bonus of 2* row score (2*18 = 36). This still doesnt change your potential max score for both grids of 108, so the effort of placing all the ubertubes in a single row, unless this is the only row you plan on completing, adds no real value.
