I came to a figure of 158 as the highest hypothetical score in a single match. Related math to double check. Don’t forget to check my math or figure out a way to make it higher.
18 Pts for scoring all three ubertubes on the top row (6pts per ubertube x 3)
Assuming such, All 6 rows must have logo bonus.
Grid 1 Row 1 3pt6pt3pt * 2 for row bonus = 24
Grid 2 Row 1 6pt3pt6pt * 2 for row bonus = 30
Grids 1 and 2 Row 2 2pt2pt2pt * 2 row bonus = 12 and 12
Grids 1 and 2 Row 3 1pt1pt1pt * 2 row bonus = 6 and 6
Race 1st place bonus = 30
Race 2nd Place Bonus = 20
I believe that figure should be much higher because you can double stack tubes. There is a maximum of two tubes per post, so you could have two logos on one row.
I could be wrong, but that is what I have garnered so far from looking through the manual.
Good point. Didn’t think about that. That’s the base figure I came up to without double stacking. We’ll have to investigate as the FIRST site comes back up.
top row(first grid): 3 uber tubes in back: 6 x 3 = 18, 6 for each tube on top of them: 6 x 3 = 18, and double the top row for logo bonus 18 x 2 = 36, so top row: 18 + 36 = 54 points
top row(second grid): 3 points per tube, double for logo bonus: 3 x 3 x 2 = 18 points
middle rows: 2 points per tube, 3 tubes per row (2 rows) and double for the logo bonus: 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 = 24 points
bottom rows: 1 point per tube, 3 tubes per row (2 rows) and double for the logo bonus: 1 x 2 x 3 x 2 = 12 points
with the top two mini bots at: 30 and 20, 30 + 20 = 50 points
so the top score being: 50 + 12 + 24 + 18 + 54 = 158, so you were correct with the 158.
The most interesting thing about that, is in an insanely high scoring game, having two good minibots will net you 32% of the points. And that number just goes up the lower the total score…
We’re trying to determine if the logo bonus doubles the points that the ubertubes scored from the autonomous period.
Rule <G66> states “If three LOGO PIECES form a LOGO, the assigned points from the SCORING PEGS in that row of that SCORING GRID are given as an additional LOGO BONUS, effectively doubling the score of the row.”
Notice that it states “the assigned points from the SCORING PEGS” and not simply “the PEG SCORE”. As it is written, we are thinking that the logo bonus would double both the original ubertube points (from <G64>) as well as the peg score (from <G65>).
Assuming the minibot from either the 1st or 2nd place finisher can come back down from the pole, what if then the 3rd alliance member deploys its minibot and reaches the target before anyone from the opposing alliance? That’s another 15 points, increasing the max total to 173!
From what I saw of the field, this wouldn’t work since each tower locks to 1st-4th place once it is triggered, and I doubt this can be reset (or we’d have minibots going up then down then up then down to get 1st-4th place)
By the way, with this calculator, the max score it once again 158, with 3 Ubertubes, and a FIRST logo on each set of pegs and winning 1st and 2nd in the end game.
I’ve reviewed the manual a few times now, and I am 97% positive that the 18 received by placing ubertubes on during the autonomous period counts solely towards an autonomous score.
This would be added in the following fashion: autonomous score + teleop score + race score
Thus the original figure is correct. (Although I suppose a technical error could occur with the minibot race, but it’s doubtful.)
if every field element performs optimally, then there will be no ties. I assume we’re assuming since no tubes will break, the sensors will do their jobs, and everything else goes smoothly?
Though to be absolutely technical, yes, you could potentially get 168.
I’m speculating that Murphy will rule at least one match, resulting in a four-way tie for first. 30 points each for the climbs that reach the top but not timed.
I highly doubt there will be a tie. Too many variables to ensure that your two mini-bots will hit at the very exact same time. That is, unless if a bot was able to hit the top .1 second slower then first also is given first, then it might be different.
