36 in Auton ... not on Einstein. Maybe at IRI, maybe. I don't doubt all three robots will score in auton on Einstein, but not all three in the high goal. It is too risky for just one lousy extra point. I am not going to risk 5 to get 1.

In any case, scoring is way harder this year than in any other shooting game year and the double balance will be a crucial decider in most matches. I see matches that are 20 - 10 with all the points coming from balance.

In any case, this makes Dr. Joe's hoarding scenario even more plausible in this game.

I don't know how I feel about the triple balance. Right now I am leaning towards that act being in the same place as the Lochness Monster: A few will claim they have seen it, but no one will be able to prove it.

I agree that scoring will be more difficult than is being presented here ... that being said, I only see that score (20-10) in early seeding matches. Scores will be higher as the regionals go on.

Also, any alliance thats put together specifically to triple balance (and can do it consistantly) will be my odds on favorite to win the regional.
