Ways to Score

Josh's notes on the STORM autonomous world​

  • First 30 seconds is auto
  • Start your autonomous sequence from a button on GUI, or single keypress

Some basic new safety rules:​

New tech safety rules

Scoring:​

  • Leaving the team zone during autonomous earns 3pts.

  • In Auto, installing Batteries is worth 8pts and Kilojoules earned are doubled.

  • BATTERIES:

    • Installing batteries is the same in all locations (even tho some slots are at different heights).
    • Batteries are a small PVC pipe (6" length, 1.25" dia).
    • You can hold 1 battery at a time.
    • Points from batteries also get you "Capacity". You get a big points boost at the end of each match which is equal to min(kilojoules, capacity).

  • EARNING KILOJOULES ("KJ")

    • GENERATE ELECTRICITY:
      • Spin the wheels at a specific RPM (within +- 5rpm).
      • RPM is randomized for each match (20, 30, 40, and 50 rpm).
      • For every 2s it's spun, 1KJ is generated.
    • JUMPSTART THE GRID:
      • Apply a voltage to the Charging Pad (within +- 0.5V).
      • Also randomized for each match (2, 4, 6, 8, 10V).
      • If applied correctly, earn 5KJ.
      • Can be done once every 30s. Cooldown Timer starts whenever you do it (i.e., not every 30 second interval).

  • Avoid the Floodwater

    • Hang at end for 20pts.
    • >12" off the Field gets additional 20pts.
