Answered: Doubler barrel in circular goal

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion VRC > Previous Games

If a doubler barrel is the lowest object in a circular goal, how would the bonus point for that goal be scored? Would it count for the next lowest object in a goal, or would there be no bonus point for that goal at all?

Also, am I correct in thinking that a doubler barrel would double the value of all the points in a goal, no matter if the other scoring objects are above or below the doubler barrel?

Thanks,

George

Let’s take a look at the applicable definitions from Section 2 of the VEX Gateway Manual. I’ve bolded some text for emphasis.

Thus if Doubler Barrel is the lowest object in the goal, the Bonus Point would count for the next lowest Ball or Barrel in the goal.

Yes, this is correct. As can be seen in the below definition. Again, some text has been bolded for emphasis.
