Turn over your bins, turn the opponents upside down?
(+30 for you, -30 for them)

Put the Ball in back corner + 20
Put the Robot in Front + 10

Maximum score for auto seems like +60 for you, -30 for them

Are you sure your allowed to flip the opponents stacks? I thought that would be giving THEM the 5 points/stack?

Scores don't go negative....

Also... Crazy but this is just a point. As of now there are no rules saying you can't be in both the front and back zone at the end of autonomous... Just sayin'...

They are already upside down, and points can't go under 0 in FTC (thankfully), and have fun getting the crate that is under the other team's crate, but its possible.

Actually, the -30 in my example was a defensive score... (I meant that you prevent them from getting it). Although I suppose from that standpoint, the two corners seem pretty small too... I wonder how hard it would be to position yourself so that you're in, and they can't get in...

Another quick question. The animation shows the stacking bonus being given during the driver-controlled period. Does your robot have to be holding the stack after the match is over to get the 10-20 pts? Can you do it more than once?

I'm pretty sure it's counted after the game is over. End game is still during driver-controlled period.
