Why the low Gear love
I'm seeing a lot of discussions on fuel delivery and scoring.
Some discussion on climbing Very little on delivering gears quickly. More worryingly, I keep seeing a misconception on the VALUE of gears. Given that one gear is given to you, in teleop only, the wrong values are: 1st rotor = 40pts/gear 2nd rotor = 20pts/gear 3rd rotor = 10pts/gear 4th rotor = 6.7pts/gear Many people are forgetting that the 4th rotor is actually: 6.7pts + 1/6 RP in qualifying, also remember that in the high goal 6.7pts take 20fuel In playoffs these gears are 23.3pts each. 40+100pt bonus. That's 70 fuel in the high goal for each gear or 420 fuel just for the 4th rotor. Time in two minutes: worst case (one robot) = 10s/gear best case (three robots) = 40s/gear For all the emphasis everyone puts on fuel as the tiebreaker, not many alliances will get 4 rotors going, even in playoffs. |
