Ensure you have a 15-second delay before your autonomous code runs
Don’t interfere with your partner’s autonomous Driver Control
Drive to a parking tile and park on it
Turn off your controller

Obviously this is a joke. Pushbot teams, however, should seriously reconsider their robots’ design.
Imagine a ratio of parking bonus : autonomous bonus
Bridge Battle = 5:5
Elevation = 5:10
Sack Attack = 10:10 ITZ = 2:10
(not included is NBN, as its parking bonus actually took 2 teammates to get).
As you can see, the relative points of a parking bonus has fluctuated between 1:1 and 1:2, however this year it dropped to 1:5. This makes it irreverent.
As with sack attack the parking bonus is there to show new teams that they can score something.Remember why vex never make a game too hard its so that younger more inexperienced competitors can still compete.
It seems like it could be something used to distract people. 2-4 points is great and all, but you could stack a couple more cones and possibly gain the “highest stack bonus” from doing so.
Thinking about it, the parking bonus could come in handy if both alliances are evenly skilled and sweep the filed in match. But I don’t think that this is going to happen anytime soon, looking forward to seeing the MS World Champs (8066) back in action at the Singapore Vex Championship, maybe it will happen then…
