Early Competition Results

One team has scored 85 points, by collecting 6 of the blocks and going home. They only scored their four lowest blocks because of that (hoarding penalty), but with the 10-point bonus for leaving the home base, they still netted 85 points and are now in first place. So far, I don't think that any of the robots have been left in for the entire six minutes, which would allow them to get a time of less than the maximum. This is fortunate, because if we don't make it to our home base, we'll have to withdraw as soon as it makes it inside the base. We know we'll be able to do this because we have it go to the home base it thinks is ours, and then make a complete circuit of the court once. If we get lost, doing this will let us stop ourselves in our home base. We'd like to thank Ricky for this idea. He pretty much saved our butts when he came up with it early early this morning.
