Powerups Analysis

FIRST General Forum

A deeper level powerup analysis that breaks down how much points each powerup earns based on having possession of switch/scale.

Point analysis:
Levitate: 30 (for climb) + 15(blocks in vault).
Force:
Lvl 1: 10 points + 5 vault
Lvl 2: 10 Points + Deny scale (10) + 10 vault
Lvl 3: 20 points + Deny scale (10) + 15 vault
Boost: (Assuming control for entire duration)
Lvl 1: (Switch): 10 points + 5 vault
Lvl 2: (Scale): 10 points + 10 vault
Lvl 3: (Switch + scale) 20 + 15 vault

Total vault = 45 pts

Notes: Force can be used as a defensive strategy/buys time to regain possession of switch or scale depending on level.
Is boost a viable powerup? Can someone explain to me a situation in which boost level 1 or 2 would be an effective use of time?

Please inform me of any errors!

You can use boost 1 or 2 if you don’t think you will get a third cube in time to use boost 3. You can also use boost 1 if you don’t think you will ever recover the scale.

Please note that boost is based on ADDITIONAL points earned, not net points. I would have edited this in, but I can’t edit the post at the moment. Apparently, the site thinks I may be a bot because I’m so new. That’s fair enough I suppose.

5 pts cube x 9 spots =45pts
