As an FLL mentor this season, I'm sure this will be very helpful, especially considering how confusing the rules can be to a new team.

This is an awesome resource. It'll come in very handy.

Thanks for doing all of this work
Unfortunately I downloaded what you had in your FTC Excel spreadsheet and it does not seem to work. I tried both the online version and the downloaded version.

Am I missing the instructions somewhere?

for example
I put in the number of particles scored in the central vortex as 12 and the total score I get at the end is 12 (I think this should be 60)

Am I doing something wrong?

I notice that the scores don't seem to be adding up

just wondering. thanks for helping everyone!!

Hi Bob!

I'm trying to reproduce but cannot. Can you please send a screenshot of your input?

See attached please
let me know what I did wrong.

The black spot where you typed is where the score output goes. The user input needs to happen in the dark and light blue cells. For reference, the key/instructions can be found in columns L and M rows 13-19.



Please let me know if this solves your issue!

Thanks
that works fine... I knew it was something I was doing wrong.
Thanks for the help
