No, it says only balls.
When it says the high flags can only be turned with balls, does it mean you can hold a ball in an intake and use it to touch the flags?
No. You can only expand in certain parts of the field.
Ah, okay.
Maximum points (if I calculated correctly) is 35 (plus 10 in auto), and Parking for a single team is 9 points. It sounds to me like a lot of matching are going to come down to that parking at the end.
I like it in that I suspect the won’t be as much design convergence as this year.
Only 4 in auto
Hey guys. I did some math, and I think I have the maximum possible score for an alliance. Is my math correct/have I overlooked anything in the rulebook?
All flags converted to red=15 pts (6 2pt high flags and 3 1pt low flags)
All converted caps scored=14 pts (6 2pt high scores and 2 1pt low scores [only 6 poles])
Parking=9 pts (1 bot parks on red pad and 1 bot parks on central pad)
Auton bonus=4 pts
15+14+9+4=42.
I got the same when I counted quickly a moment ago.
What i dont like is the fact that you can only use 8 v5 motors and you cant expand in certain places.
You’re right, my bad.
Hmm… All steel robots for the parking win! 
If you are going to use 1 of your 4 preloads during the game how would you do that?
Thanks!
I’d presume you mean use as in launch it at a flag. You’d move in during auton/driver control, and launch. If you have to elevate out of the 18x18x18 requirements, you have to go the expansion zone (the white tape U) and launch from there.
Also, I could be mistaken here, but I don’t think that there are match loads in this game. Only the initial preload (1 per robot). I didn’t catch any mention of it in the reveal video or the actual game manual.
Never mind you were right AyushR66 , I thought it said 4 per alliance.
Any reason 2 small bots can’t both be center parked?
Looks like you could, so that bumps up a maximum score to 45.
really do you think that you could park 2 decent robots on the center pad
