2015 Recycle Rush Scoring

[216Robochick288]

Alright ladies and gents, now the fun part. What is the max score that each side of the fields can come up with? Highest auton score? What will be the highest stack of the year? What scores do you expect from weeks 1 and 2 all the way to champs?


(Im looking at rules and crunching numbers as I post)

I'm going through this too, uggh. Ill post my findings as soon as I can manage.

Im trying to figure out the wording on the auton. Can you move the grey bins in auton? I havnt found a rule about it, I dont think it was mentioned. Does the 20 stacked bin mean if you had 3 on the scoring spot, 2 stacked one not you would have 2x20 plus 1x6?


EDIT: Im looking but havnt found anything about it yet

I do not believe there is a use for gray totes in autonomous.

The three yellow totes earn 6 points if they are all in the auto zone. They earn an additional 14 points if they are stacked.

There are 3 per side.... So if there were 3 seperate stacks it would be 6 points. 3 stacked would be 20? what about 2 stacked and one not?

[ATannahill]

There are three yellow totes per side.

If they are all in the autonomous zone you get 6 points.

If they are in a stack (defined in the manual) you get an additional 14 points.

If two totes are stacked and one tote is not, you only get 6 points.

there are several ways to handle auton scoring as I read the rules now.

32 point method (A):
-4 points awarded for all active robots in auto zone (Robot Set) (4pts.)
-6 points awarded for 3 totes in auto zone (Tote set) (6pts.)
-14 additional points awarded for stack (Stacked Tote Set) (14pts.)
-8 points awarded for any three recycling containers in auto zone (Container set) (8pts.)

Total: 32pts. Max
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 point method (B):
-4 points awarded for all active robots in auto zone (Robot Set) (4pts.)
-6 points awarded for 3 totes in auto zone (Tote set) (0pts.) (included in Stacked Tote Set)
-14 additional points awarded for stack (Stacked Tote Set) (20pts.)
-8 points awarded for any three recycling containers in auto zone (Container set) (8pts.)

Total: 32pts. Max
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
38 point method:
-4 points awarded for all active robots in auto zone (Robot Set) (4pts.)
-6 points awarded for 3 totes in auto zone (Tote set) (6pts.)
-14 additional points awarded for stack (Stacked Tote Set) (20pts.)
-8 points awarded for any three recycling containers in auto zone (Container set) (8pts.)

Total: 38pts. Max
- it is still up to debate if you can get a Stacked tote set and a regular tote set scored at the same time.

I agree with your max, but you only get points for sets, so you need all yellow totes in the auto zone to get 6 points, you cannot get 4 points for only having two of them. The recycling containers only needs one to have a set.

I was inferring that all the yellow totes available at the start of the match need to be fully constrained by the auto zone in order to be considered a set.

A container set on the other hand does need to have three present in the auto zone in order to be counted (definition of container set, rule 3.1.2.1)

[ATannahill]

The rule you quoted is right, but if you look closely they use the word any, not all when defining the container set.

The way I interpret it: there are a total of 10 recycling containers on the field: 3 in each alliance zone, 4 on the STEP. If any of those 3 are completely contained by the team's auto zone a container set is awarded.

Is the recycle bin 4 times the lowest level it occupies or 4 times tge number of levels it occupies? We're having a heated argument about this...

4 times the lowest level it occupies is how i'm interpreting the rule

Lowest. Page 21.

Do you get points for having more than one pool noodle on a trash can and stacking that can?
