Realistically though to get max score the
cube towers have to be almost 13 feet tall
Edit: 9 feet
only 13? I was thinking it was more like 20-30.
Edit: only 9?
You can make three towers of 20, 20, and 19 cubes
Oh, I was thinking all 66 cubes stacked in one stack.
That’s even more impossible than a 20 cube stack
To be honest, I don’t think the towers will be all that useful. The distribution of colors is almost identical on each side of the field, and the cubes are mixed together, so teams are probably not going to specifically go after a certain color - it’s much faster to pick up a big pile of cubes of various colors all at once than to try and pick through each color individually. Also, if teams have a stack with a pretty even breakdown of colors (about 1/3 each color), then the opposing alliance putting any cube in a tower would still benefit them. I feel like it’ll be just like how caps were in Turning Point - teams will ignore them completely.
(In skills, on the other hand, the “color doesn’t matter” rule means that towers will probably be the most important game element, as any cube scored in a tower will increase the score of all stacked cubes.)
I think the meta will be fast and tall stackers only that stack with no regard for color, and tower-specific scoring mechanisms will be practically nonexistent, especially towards late season.
The orange cubes are almost entirely on blue’s side and the green is almost entirely on red.
There will almost certainly be towers changing hands.
That’s not true, the cubes are actually evenly split between the sides.
I’m pretty sure there are more cubes left unseen because they are in stacks and that is a top view.
There are 10 orange on red side yes, there are 10 green on blue side yes, but there are 22 of each color cube (2 of each being using as match loads, and going to the auton winner)
20 of each cube must be on the field
So, upon closer inspection, blue must have 10 orange on their side as well and likewise red must have 10 green. Each stack on the blue side holds 1 green, 2 orange, and 1 purple, likewise each stack on red side holds 1 orange, 2 green, and 1 purple. This means blue has atleast 8 orange and red has atleast 8 green.
But that is not all there is also a small pyramid at the bottom of the field where you can see 2 remaining orange on the blue side and the 2 remaining green on red side.
Yes there is a slight imbalance do to matches loads, but I think it is safe to say that a difference of 2 cubes out of a total of 22 is almost negligible.
I rest my case.
My general point is that there can be a bit of strategy in which cubes to pick up, and even a minor imbalance can change a strategy at higher levels. I think the most important to note is the 2 cubes each sides has, I think they will be more powerful than it may seem
I feel like it was only a matter of time before that was brought up.
Of course there will be slightly different strategies due to match loads.
I just wanted to make sure you and anyone else who might have misunderstood the color balancing (I was confused by it too) knew that the colors were actually balanced between the side.
No worries
the towers will be vital. if you get all 7 towers to orange, then for every orange cube you score, your opponents will have to score 8 other cubes to get back. of course, they would go for orange as well…
Not if you had all the orange cubes in your stack 
or at least most of them
thats why I think the strategy will be to get all of one color into your goal, then try and get all the towers to that color.
what will be more interesting to me is auton strategy, if you do vigorous auton scouting you should actually be able to get your opponents auton to work for you. say you know your opponents go for 2 green cubes in towers and score 2 green cubes in goals. you would make your auton score no cubes in towers, but 4 green cubes in goals. same number of cubes handled by both sides, but your opponents actually worked for you by putting the greens in the tower.
I would disagree, In fact, I think that putting all only 1 color in your goal is quite sketch. All the other team has to do is change the cubes in the towers and ur done. I believe the best anti-loose strategy is to evenly distribute the cubes into your goal. Example being, instead of having 18 orange cubes with the remaining in towers you have 6 of each color and with the towers evenly distributed 3, 3, and 2. This way the other team can’t easily swing the game last second by changing the towers. An example in real life of this is an ecosystem. If what I’ve learned in biology is correct, More diversity results in a better chance of survival. If an ecosystem only have one type of plant such as grass, and there is a disease that kills only grass then the ecosystem comes tumbling down. While on the other hand if this same scenario happened but there was grass, shrubs, and other plants the ecosystem would be able to still go on.
But if u had all cubes of one color, then you would only have to fight to control the towers, whereas if you put random amounts of different colored cubes, then it’d pretty much be up to luck at that point.
