Clarification on 91-Point Score Legality

Hi Team,

Could you please confirm whether the attached score of 91 points is considered legal? Based on Keep Scoring Objects in the Field and Scenario 10 in 2664: Clarification on SC3 and SG4 : Robot Events," it appears to be valid, but I’d appreciate your confirmation.

Please advise.

Kind Regards,
Joe

25 points (I had no time)

Not sure what you meant. can you elaborate why it is 25 points? it’s fine if you are busy. I will wait for others to help.

@JoeJoe Rule SG4c states: “Leaving the Field” means that a Scoring Object is outside of the Field Perimeter, no longer in contact with the Floor or Field Elements, and not supported by Robots or Scoring Objects that are still inside the Field.

But doesn’t the beam count to make all of those 3 color stacks?

Also connected pins.

Did some digging. the score for the stack in that image is 91 points.

it breaks down like this:

  • 6 connected pins: 6 points
  • 1 connected beam: 10 points
  • three 3-color stack bonuses: 45 points
  • three matching goal bonuses: 30 points

this specific setup is often called a 91-point cactus. it gets three matching goal bonuses because each of the three stacks is connected to the gray beam. since each stack contains a red pin, an orange pin, and the gray beam, they all qualify for the 15-point 3-color bonus.

Thanks. I am aware that it is 91 points.

The only confusion is that part of the beam is outside the perimeter, though it is not touching the perimeter and is supported/touching a scoring object. The confusion was created when one of the team members witnessed that judges at state competition were not convinced and further discussion was happening for some other team. hence thought to check here.

Kind Regards
Joe

I pretty sure this is legal as it supported on the inside of the field but asl the staffers for further clarifcation

This has happened in some of our competitions, and it’s always been scored as legal

If it’s contacting the loading zone bar is the only time I can think of where it would be illegal

But then again, the refs are volunteers.
