Scoring of rotors

[Mr.Twister]

What I got out of the video and of the rules is that you only get the points when the rotor was started initially (after 3 full rotations in the airship.)

Example:
You get one rotor activated in Autonomous= 60pts
-then there are only 3 rotors left x 40pts = 120pts (that's if you activate the rest during teleop.)

So in this case, the maximum points due to the rotors is 180pts (60 during autonomous, and 120 during Teleop.)

This is what I got out of it, please let me know if I am wrong
Thanks,
Dillon

Why not 200, 120 during auto and 80 during teleop?

This is entirely possible, it just seems that people haven't considered it yet. Quite a big point bonus though, just needs every robot to do a gear.

3.2.1, page 23, is pertinent.

It's definitely possible, but it requires all three robots to place a gear. I imagine that situation will be about as common as 70 point autos were for Stronghold.

I'm waiting for the multi gear auto modes from the elite teams a la 2011. Little more complicated since gears must be fully supported by the original robot.

Hm. I hadn't really thought about that. I feel like having an auto that places a gear and scores the 10 pre-loaded fuel would be a more repeatable goal for the elite teams, but I guess we'll see.

I expect three gear/two rotor autos will be even less common because not only do all three robots have to deliver a gear but two humans have to retrieve three gears, then place one of them on the center spot, fit the other two into their spots and spin the crank three times. I just don't think that the pilots will be able to move fast enough for that to happen. I expect we'll see it once or twice but no more than that.

I would just like to point out that there has been no rule against all three robots placing their gear on the close spring. That would make scoring three gears considerably easier and faster than having robots drive to the far side of the airship, turn, and then place their gear.

The team update states that rotors are scored only if they are not previously scored, so I interpret this as a rotor scored in autonomous won't be recounted for teleop.

For each ROTOR turning by period’s T=0,
that’s not previously been scored

Yes, this is very well possible. In the case that I said, the maximum point value is 180.

The only problem is how likely are there going to be three robots able to go to three serperate lifts and have enough time to get rotor 1 to turn? It would probably end up counting as a teleop rotor turn if it takes more than 15 seconds and only give you 40 points like I said in the first example. So it would equal out to the same amount of points either way.

So are teams legally able to grab another gear during autonomous? We would love to put the first gear and then go backward to the loading station and grab another.

the only legal source of another gear in auto is your alliance partners. if your partner can't score a gear, but can somehow transfer it to you, then you can potentially score it.

This will be tricky and unlikely, but not impossible.

[markmcgary]

I think we'll see 120 pt. rotor scores in auto from some playoff alliances. Likely with each robot hanging a gear.
