Two UBERTUBES on one peg? - Scoring?

[Teched3]

Why would you want to score two Ubertubes on one peg? You have six high pegs, and only three ubertubes to work with if you're shooting for a high starting score. You're risking interference between robots during autonomous with that stategy.

It was not planned, but it happened, and it was not really clear how it would be scored. It was a practice match, so it didn't matter at the time.

But it could happen again if a robot turns more (or less) than expected, or if one of the multi-tube scoring robots is slightly off on the return trip.

<G62>: MATCH SCORE = AUTONOMOUS SCORE + PEG SCORE + LOGO BONUS + RACE SCORE

<G63>: If two GAME PIECES are on a single PEG, only the outermost one counts.

<G64>: The AUTONOMOUS SCORE is the sum of the points of the Alliance's 3 UBERTUBES. <G63> would still apply; a UBERTUBE is a GAME PIECE. In any event, I doubt the scoring software could handle 2 UBERTUBES on the same PEG. There's no way to enter that on the score pad.

<G65>: The PEG SCORE of a UBERTUBE is zero. Zero doubled (for being on top of another UBERTUBE) is still zero.

LOGO BONUS and RACE SCORE don't enter the calculations here.

In short, the doubled up UBERTUBES on one PEG would count 2, 4 or 6 points, depending on what row level it was.

(Really, it's kind of an amazing feat, that the robots didn't tangle each other.)

I think it would break the scoring system. If you've seen their touch screen for keeping track of the racks, I don't think it supports 2 ubertubes

if the GDC makes a ruling in favor of scoring the 2nd Ubertube, they could enter the additional points manually as they do with penalties.
