(in order of appearance)

1. STACK ATTACK! How creative.

2. Oooh. Automation. Awe-toe-may-shin. Hee.

3. Large plastic objects... I forsee violence.

4. People simulating robots... teehee.

5. (after it all sinks in) Holy carp. And I distinctly meant carp. Like the fish.

1) Autonomous period, oh great and I'm on the programming team
2) Wow, I can sense violence in this
3) A big wall in the middle on a ramp?
4) What if none of the robots can get their autonomous period to work, isn't that embarassing
5) ZZZ...even FIRST's robots didn't work, oh great...ZZZ

Y=mx+b CORRECT

At the kickoff they siad the hint concerned the scoring, not the semi-circle on the floor! This means that

SCORE=BOXES*HIGHT+KING OF HILL PTS.

OR...

S=BH+K

OR...

Y=mx+b

Remember the variables can be any letter.

6)Does anyone see parts of boxes? We dented one just by dropping it. Remember destructions of the field results in a DQ.

By the way I hate parabolas.

In order of appearance...

1. It's 11 AM. I'm at work, selling pipe and missing the kickoff. I'm gonna go get some coffee.

2. Well, it's close to midnight. May as well check out what I'll be doing for the next six weeks.

3. Autonomous mode. Bad. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Completely not awesome.

4. Now why'd they go and put that polycarbonate up there? It's surface will get destroyed durning practice, totally ruining the plan. They so should have gone with Teflon.

5. Well, when push comes to shove, you can always succeed using a robot as a battering ram. Wonder if I can make it catch air over the ramp? *Evil laugh*

Hey, look! New smiles!

1. What is that on that ramp?
2. What the...?
3. Oh boxes...yay! No balls this year!
4. Autonomous...control? *remembers he's the programmer*
5. *cries*
5 1/2. Repeat steps 4 and 5

I seriously almost passed out when he said "autonomous control"...it was all in slow motion and such. It was crazy...

y=ax^2+bx+c

Simple version:

score = -Bs^2 + Bt*Bs + 25*Robots

score=y
Bs=boxes in stacks = x
-1 = a
Bt = boxes total in Scoring zone = B
Robots = # of robots on the ramp
25*Robots = c

That's the only thing I can think of as far as scoring, but it doesn't take into account a bin oriented differently. It's just a bins stacked upright and all nested.
