I might have missed it but how many blocks are on the skills field? I know that there is 88 for qualifications, but I don’t know about skills.
In the Robot Skills section it shows a clear diagram of the balls on the field.
- preload - 1
- Block loader - 4 x 6 = 24
- Parking Zone - 2 x 6 = 12
- Long goal - 4 x 2 = 8
- Center goal area - 4 x 4 = 16
Total - 1 + 24 + 12 + 8 + 16 = 61
If my math is correct.

It is in the manual on page 62
Based on this picture, I count 60 + 1
6 in each Loader (24)
6 in each Park Zone (12)
6 groups of 4 on the field (24)
1 preload
(also described in RSC3)

For anyone who like me at first though, “Why does the only calculator only allow 44 to be scored when there are 61?”, its because there are only 44 spaces in the goals for them to be scored

Great clarification! - VRC Hub is good tool but is not replacement of printed Game Manual (pdf version).
As many have noted, 0.1 version of manual is to identify typos that ultimately will yield 1.0 version of Game Manual.
