Then beyond that I'm thinking maybe 8 more. Which is two runs of four. If we get good at running single points we can maybe double that. Making a total of 72 points all on our own. We may be fighting for time to feed our robot vs other teams on our alliance though. But with both sides being able to deliver I'm not sure. This years game is a LOT of fun. I like it a lot more than previous years games I've played.

EDIT::
Maybe I just like it because I feel confident in what we are doing this year but eh, just a gut feeling!

It certainly is a great idea--I'm not putting it down. But, if you have some shooters on your team that can consistently do the 3pt/2pt goal, why not play a bit of defense and deny the opposing team's killer shooter's points? As moogboy said, there is only a limited number of frisbees on the playing field. If you have two other robots who are insane shooters and you run out of frisbees on the field, the frisbees you had put in the 1pt goal could have potentially be put in the 2pt/3pt goal by your alliance member. Just a thought.
