Here’s a scoring sheet I made a while ago: It’s nice and colorful, and is useful to calculate scores.

Ohhhh! Nice!
This would make a nice handout at the competitions.
Exactly!
I made this a while ago, and kept forgetting to post it. I figured that in the lull between the 6 weeks and the regionals, this would be an optimal time to post this.
Notice that the scores are color coded too!

Something like this.
Just print out a bunch of them.
Laminate them and voila!
Instant giveaways!
Excellent work Ben! Looks great.
Notice how the upper right corner is all empty cells. Maybe that place can be replaced with a few pictures of the scoring, like, a symbol of the bins, on the colored carpets indicating 1 point per bin, and at stack indicating a multiplier, and multiple stack indicating the first stack is only mulitplier and the rest are points, etc.
Than that would be an awesome giveaway. Just include the picture of your robot and its an excellent advertisement of your robot.
whoa. it goes up to 45. i doubt the ceiling at most events is that high.
we’re planning on putting a scoring calculator on the mini-site that will be available at st. louis and nat’s (hopefully).
if you’ve got a wireless card (in your laptop or palm pilot) you’ll be able to access the scoring calculator, scouting database, and forum that are all hosted on a server we’ll have in our pit hooked up to an airport access point.

Awesome. I hope u have a really expensive access point if u want if to work over the entire astrodome.
I really wish we had a bigger team that was capable of stuff like that. We didn’t even have time to completely finish out robot much less work on stuff like that. Well i guess we have time now.
Thanks.
Feel free to download it and modify it however you want - if you give me credit, that would be nice, but I don’t care too much, personally.
I like that idea of putting a few graphics on it, and giving it out at regionals/nats, Ken. It would be a great team giveaway/trade item.
Not only could you use it as a scoring sheet - but triple the size, laminate, and you have a placemat! Show your FIRST spirit at mealtimes on and off the season!
Ben -
Nice job. This is virtually an exact duplicate of a spreadsheet I made up when the game was being created to determine implications of some of the scoring options that were being considered at the time (I note that your sheet does not have the “how many monkeys in the bins?” multiplier though…).
There is a companion sheet that you can also create that is particularly useful to the drivers/coaches as well. (hint, hint) For a given number of “X” bins in your alliance scoring zone and “Y” bins in the opponent alliance scoring zone (note: Y is not automatically 45-X), what is the maximum QP that you can get? Use this at a glance to determine if you should move a few containers from your side of the field to theirs, or vice versa.

Y = AX^2 + B… ehhh, whatever
This could be VERY handy for coaches: is it against any rule to have such a sheet in your hand while you play the match?
I’m still waiting for “Scoring Made Easy,” which FIRST has been promising us for over a week now (not that I am sure scoring can be made easy, but that is another story).
On the other hand, FIRST also owes us updated manual files and Team Update #20. I don’t really mind them taking their time to get these things right, I just don’t like them continuously promising that things will be released on a certain date, and then not following through.
In response to coaches being able to use this.
I believe it is totally within the rules, BUT do you really think it will be useful?
2 min match, (including 15 seconds of no-input)-- how many times could you actually score the match? Not to mention it will be changing second to second. I really don’t think it is pratical or a good idea to score the match during the match from the driver station.
This will be the year of guesstimation.

Don’t rely on it for 100% accuracy, but there will be a Real-time-scoring component to the event.
Whether the scores are audience viewable only, or imposed on the video screen, I dunno.
