Ring It Up! and Rack n' Roll

[Lil' Lavery]

The scoring system isn't even remotely close to how scoring was operated in 2007. Just because it has rings and a rack doesn't mean it's a similar game.

There weren't line "bonuses" in 2007, you only got points for rows, and the scoring progressed exponentially. A "row" of one tube was worth 2 point, a row of two was worth 4 points, a row of three was worth 8, etc. These bonuses are much closer to the tic-tac-toe style of 2005 than they are to 2007, though the highest tetra placed awarded control of a goal in that game rather than the largest quantity of scoring objects. In 2007, scoring on a peg guaranteed you ownership unless the peg was spoiled. The opponent couldn't place more ringers on that peg to attempt to negate it, unlike this FTC game or FRC in 2005.

Lifting robots in the end game only had two scoring levels in 2007, and didn't reward you for lifting further beyond that threshold.

There may be some surface level similarities, but in terms of game theory these games aren't very similar.
