[Week One] How Many Points Will Your Robot Score?

[tindleroot]

Not to mention, I would be extremely surprised if anyone expected >100 points by themselves, especially in a week one situation. Scoring a defense + a high goal in auto, and weakening the tower and breaching all 5 defenses, AND hanging would score 115 points. I don't think a robot could do all of that within the match time, so...

120 point+ people, not sure what you're thinking. Either too optimistic or I missed a strategy...

It's so early.... We are not likely to even know exactly what functions we are going to work on for a few days or a week yet... We have a very general strategic concept, but need to do a bunch of basic prototyping (tonight/tomorrow) before we'll even know what functions we'll definitely have....

Yup... I can see 100 points for a very good shooter **if** the competition field is really strong and boulders are being continuously scored and returned to the playing field and a partner is working to feed you boulders.... However, if you are the only "strong" bot on the field (likely in a week 1 district event), you might struggle to score more than four or five boulders....

I can't wait to compare the average results of this poll to the actual Week One averages.

What if you are planing on scoring 2 ranking points solo(assume partners can get on the batter)? Crossing 8 times putting a ball in the low goal 8 times is a viable strategy.
