We already have a fully functional robot that is high scoring but for skills and auton, we need some tips on the strategy
It would help to know how the robot functions and how it scores.
Can you define “high scoring”? Our analysis of the game shows potential scoring to be in the high 200’s without any beam manipulation AND that solving Driving Skills is most likely the all-round solution.
this video shows the highest score of mix and match

Your reply is not helpful to advising you. The Robo Kai video does not show how they got there. Using a time estimate method for each action to achieve that 429 score, likely requires 2 robots because a beam construct takes a lot of time.
At this point in time, a score greater than 200 is a major achievement in a competition skills environment.
Likely, a single robot in a skills match will max out around 350 points, but I’m sure Worlds will show us what’s possible.
if the field cleared, I think the high score is going to be 434.

We can do 100 average
we want 150 or 200 points
If your team can think in “cycle time”, how long it takes to do each action, doing several “thought experiments”, might be enlightening.
How your team constructs Pin Stacks with the robot may lead the team to change their methodology and/or change the robot.
For example, from 2 years ago; for the game of Full Volume, the herobot Byte can pickup a Block. How many Blocks can Byte put into a goal in 60 seconds?
Using that methodology, how many Stacks can Huey build and transport to a goal in 60 seconds? Does the team build a Stack in a goal? Or does the team build a Stack on the floor and then transport the Stack to a Goal?
Your answer of about 100 points suggest your robot can build 4 3-Color Stacks. How can your team reduce time to do X? For example, pick up a Pin and stack it? If it takes 4 seconds, how can the team get that to 0 seconds?
The challenge for your team is how to do this thought experiment without hardware? If you think of the “thought experiment” as an estimator. It doesn’t have to be precise, because the sums go beyond 60 seconds pretty quickly.
Then iterate the “thought experiment” with different design solutions.
Does that help?
Note, student-centered, requires student work. Giving “the adult solution” that doesn’t work doesn’t expand the student head space or solution space
@botcats1018, can you tell me a strategy? we can do 6-7 3 color stacks in 60 seconds
@botcats1018 I want to say I am sorry but I am just trying to Help this topic on how the high score points because this is the skills strategy topic for mix and match.
However, whenever it comes to mix and match it’s just kind of like full volume you need to have like an automated system or some sort of system that will take the pins and will make a stack like a belt drive system or roller system that will easily intake it and then you can have motors on the back of it or some sort of lift on the back that will stack it on the high goal and pneumatics on the back so you can open behind it so you can stack it on the field or in a corner
