Totally agreed.

I'm guessing around 40 on the low end, 70 on the high end, so around 50 on the average for Week 1, and 80 during Elimination matches, with 110 being the high score.

I think 110 is pushing it because you have to rely on the other alliance to either score or put the balls back into play and your alliance get to them 1st. You also can only hold 3 balls at a time thats a max of 9 points at a time...

Since my guess from last year was way off, I will say somewhere around 20 average score on the first week, though I would have to mess with the ramps to see how difficult it will be to balance.

Each robot on the alliance scores each of their 2 balls held, plus one robot will go back to take the balls from a bridge and score. A total of 48 points right there.

Each robot on that alliance scores 5 balls each in Teleop. That's 15 points per robot, which is 45 points total from those. And scoring 15 balls all together can be a low amount.

Two robots on a bridge at the end scores a solid 20, or 40 for three robots during the Elims.

That's 113 points in Qualifications and 133 points in Eliminations. Take that and add the number of times your opponent fouled.

Oh 110+ is happening at least twice per regional event.

Im not saying it wont happen Im saying it wont happen in the 1st week.

I totally agree with Tetraman on the end of the year scores, Although i think the Avg score for 1st week will be 24. Everyone NEEDS to read the manual. If you haven't realized it yet, the bridges are CRUCIAL. Read 5.3.3 on. They will be determining your ranking seed and will be the most important part for the teams to focus on. Im guessing a 92 high score at the end of the year with a 55 high score after week 2. Definitely will be interesting.

Considering the average amount of tubes scored last year at the championship by each robot during a match was about 1, and the average score in 2010 was less than 1, i'm going to say that the AVERAGE SCORE will be around 8. I would guess lower but also considering that a foul gives your opponent 3 points I suspect a 0-0 match may be very uncommon.

Very quickly, everyone is going to realize that any robot can score pretty much every time the shoot at the low basket.
Say 4 in auto
9 in tele
And It is trivial for a single robot to balance,
10 for balance.
= 23
Then you have to account for the slackers. (Unfortunately my team could be one. We are only a +1) Say an average of 16 per side.

[Dancin103]

24.

[Xenozero]

I say given that you can pretty much score in autonomous ill call 10-20 in auto.

In teleop, considering that the rebounder is only allowed to hold 2 balls that leaves 4 balls on the court with the optional 2 on the platform, given this much ammunition and an average load to score time being maybe 20 seconds for a good bot that gives about 12 pts in teleop (given the other 2 bots dont really score and leave the good bot to do the work).

In the endgame, ill give the standard 10 pts because its pretty easy to balance one bot on such a big platform.

my avg score mid tourney = 32 to 42 points

[George Nishimura]

I expect qualification to be around 10-15, Elimination to get around 30-40.

So let's average it out at 20.

I seriously question this notion.

[LafondaOnFire]

I'm predicting it will be higher than everyone is thinking...

I bet we'll see some qualification matches with scores of 0-0, or the only points given are from penalties, thus, deciding on a winner. I also bet we'll see some matches with two high-tier robots on each alliance, thus, making each score ~ 50.

But as far as average goes, I predict on average, at least one basketball will be scored in autonomous. Let's say 5 points.
I predict we'll see somewhere around 10 points per alliance in teleop.
And probably one robot on each alliance will attempt to balance. Another 10 points - it should be much easier for a single robot.

The first time a double balance is achieved, the audience will be rather impressed, I'm sure.
25 points for an average match. But being the first week, there will be many penalties.
Let's say 6 penalty points - two penalties per alliance.

25 w/o penalties. 31 with.
We shall see in just over 6 weeks time...

[pandamonium]

27 points...

Just for fun I'm going to say guess the top score at the kettering district week 1 this year. With some high powered teams such as 33,51,70,494,2337 (no offence to the other teams there these 5 always seem to be on top of their game) and many other teams with good bots every year.
Average Elims Top Score
Auto 12 24 36
Teleop 15 33 50
End game 10 20 40(1 alliance will do this!)
Totals 37 74 126

Of course this is way to early to tell exactly how the game will be played out but its always fun to guess!
