2015 Recycle Rush Scoring

Alright ladies and gents, now the fun part. What is the max score that each side of the fields can come up with? Highest auton score? What will be the highest stack of the year? What scores do you expect from weeks 1 and 2 all the way to champs?

(Im looking at rules and crunching numbers as I post)

I’m going through this too, uggh. Ill post my findings as soon as I can manage.

Im trying to figure out the wording on the auton. Can you move the grey bins in auton? I havnt found a rule about it, I dont think it was mentioned. Does the 20 stacked bin mean if you had 3 on the scoring spot, 2 stacked one not you would have 2x20 plus 1x6?

EDIT: Im looking but havnt found anything about it yet

I do not believe there is a use for gray totes in autonomous.

The three yellow totes earn 6 points if they are all in the auto zone. They earn an additional 14 points if they are stacked.

There are 3 per side… So if there were 3 seperate stacks it would be 6 points. 3 stacked would be 20? what about 2 stacked and one not?

According to the game reveal video at 1:25 you can move them in auton.

There are three yellow totes per side.

If they are all in the autonomous zone you get 6 points.

If they are in a stack (defined in the manual) you get an additional 14 points.

If two totes are stacked and one tote is not, you only get 6 points.

Agreed. It’s legal to move them, but you don’t get any auto-specific points. If you want to start stacking, though, you’re welcome to.

there are several ways to handle auton scoring as I read the rules now.

32 point method (A):
-4 points awarded for all active robots in auto zone (Robot Set) (4pts.)
-6 points awarded for 3 totes in auto zone (Tote set) (6pts.)
-14 additional points awarded for stack (Stacked Tote Set) (14pts.)
-8 points awarded for any three recycling containers in auto zone (Container set) (8pts.)

Total: 32pts. Max

32 point method (B):
-4 points awarded for all active robots in auto zone (Robot Set) (4pts.)
-6 points awarded for 3 totes in auto zone (Tote set) (0pts.) (included in Stacked Tote Set)
-14 additional points awarded for stack (Stacked Tote Set) (20pts.)
-8 points awarded for any three recycling containers in auto zone (Container set) (8pts.)

Total: 32pts. Max

38 point method:
-4 points awarded for all active robots in auto zone (Robot Set) (4pts.)
-6 points awarded for 3 totes in auto zone (Tote set) (6pts.)
-14 additional points awarded for stack (Stacked Tote Set) (20pts.)
-8 points awarded for any three recycling containers in auto zone (Container set) (8pts.)

Total: 38pts. Max

  • it is still up to debate if you can get a Stacked tote set and a regular tote set scored at the same time.

I agree with your max, but you only get points for sets, so you need all yellow totes in the auto zone to get 6 points, you cannot get 4 points for only having two of them. The recycling containers only needs one to have a set.

My problem with the golden totes in auton being worth only 2… Grey bins in Teleop are worth only 2. Arent auton scores always worth more?

I don’t think you can get Teleop points in auto. What do the rest of yall think?

Once you create a “hole” in your landfill zone, you can start taking totes from the center step. Not sure if that will be advantageous.

Points for gray totes are rewarded at the end of the match.

Grey totes aside, lets look at the gold ones. lets have 0 be a golden tote and ___ be the ground. Ill give you the situations I see happening.

0___0___0_ =?

       .....0

0________0=?

    ...0
    ...0

0______=?

How many points would each situation be worth in auton? Would it be 6 (2 points each) on the first, or 18 points, 6 per.

Would the second be worth 20+6 (one stack one alone)? 20+2(this would be if scoring totes alone in auton are only worth 2)?

Would the last only be worth 20? It seems like quite a feat to get 3 stacked in auton. Im sure we will see it, but it seems insignificant if you look at what you can score after Teleop starts.

I couldn’t find anything in the rules (haven’t read entire thing tho), can we open the totes and stack them inside of each other?

G16 Blue Box, Item C.

Assuming this is in the auto zone, they would be worth 6, 6, 20.

Please read page 19 of the manual.

They are intended to be closed- THey are zip tied shut.

I originally thought the coopertition points were a red herring since they won’t really affect ranking since averages are calculated to 2 decimal places but the high value of the stacked totes probably means each alliance should try to put two yellow totes on the step once it is clear of grey ones. Assumes another robot will complete the stack of 4.
