YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2014's Week 1 Regionals/Districts

[cadandcookies]

One of the things I like most about this game is that it's going to have super low scores in qualification, but in elimination I think we'll see some (comparatively) ridiculously high scores.

My initial impulse is in qualifications:
All robots drive forward (15 points)
One robot is able to throw the ball over the truss (10 points per cycle)
One robot is able to herd the ball into a goal (1 point)
If these are distinct robots, another 10 points for assists

That would equate to (optimistically) 21 points per cycle.

Based on that, I'd say 3-4 cycles (63-84 points).

Add on the auto modes, and we have 78-99 points per qualification match.

Multiply that by 50%, and average match scores are 35-50 points in qualification.

That being said, I think this year more than any others will have the potential to surprise everybody with high scoring average matches.
