I posted in an earlier thread that the theoretical high skills score is 232 (for driver OR programming), but what score is required to guarantee a victory?
The highest alliance score is 80 cones, 1 20 pt goal, 3 10 pt goals, 10 pt auto bonus, 2 pt parking bonus, and 4 5pt high stack bonuses, or 242 points. Even with no cones, the opposing alliance can score at least 1 20 pt goal and 3 10 pt goals, 4 stack bonuses, parking, and auto, which is 82 points. Assuming you do the same, minus the auto and stack bonuses, you have 52 points, and you need to score 56 cones for a guaranteed victory, meaning that scoring 164 points is a guaranteed victory.
Both robots can get parking bonuses, so 2 × 2 points instead of 1 × 2 points
You can’t get the highest stack in the 5 point zone without having a mobile goal there (so you must settle for either 5 points for scoring the goal + 5 points for highest stack or 10 points for scoring the goal; same score either way)
So minimum score of 120 to guarantee victory.
To guarantee this victory, regardless of the caliber of your opponents, the easiest way is probably 1 Mobile Goal in 20 Point Zone + 3 Mobile Goals in 10 Point Zone + 35 Stacked Cones. That way you don’t have to worry about highest stack bonuses or the autonomous bonus that are both highly dependent on caliber of opponents
Ah, I missed that, but the required score for guaranteed victory would be 161 points.
If you score 120 points through auto, 50 points of goals, and 30 cones, opponents can get 50 points of goals, and 100 points through 50 cones, beating you 120-150.
