[FTC]: Balanced Pendulum

Other FIRST Tech Challenge
1

Hi! I’m a rep from 6945, and we had a question about balancing our pendulum goals.

If our whole alliance scoredd ONLY in the ground goal, technically, our pendulum would remain balanced. Would we recieve the bonus, or do we HAVE to have blocks in the pendulum goals?

Thanks!

The end-game Balance Score is 50% the alliance’s Block Score. The Block Score is defined as The points for blocks scored into pendulum goals and the floor scoring area, calculated at the conclusion of the Driver-Controlled period.

So yes. Presuming all blocks are floor scored, and the pendulum remains balanced, the 50% balance score will be applied to the alliance.

Hope this helps.
