60pts
Max cycle: 3 assist, truss-catch, high goal (60 points).
Different strategies: 2 assist, truss-catch, low (51 points);
2 assist, high (40 points);
2 assist, low (31 points)

By removing the end game they've reduced the number of different things a robot can do and given us more opportunity to increase the complexity of a single mechanism.

Couple questions. Do assists other than the truss pass/catch count if the goal is not scored? Also if you missed and made a couple more assists and managed to score this time, could you get over 3 assists for a cycle?

oh and what are the thoughts on the definition of losing possession and what you have to do after losing possession?

I have a question, if you were in the opposing zone and throw a ball over the truss and made it in your goal, would you also get the truss points?

Truss points, but check the rules on scoring goals - you're limited where you can shoot from.

The words "lose" and "losing" are in the manual one time each, and have nothing to do with POSSESSION.

That said, if you do lose possession of the ball, you'd better try hard to regain it because you're not going to score any points without it.

Anybody got any good ideas for offensive strategies.

I feel like a lot of people are going to use strategies from 2008, except with an additional overpass at the end of the field.
