That low? I'm fairly certain no score at MIT went below 40. I wouldn't expect better than 25, and that's probably pushing it.
There’s no doubt multiple teams that are going have hit sub 20 in practice. I think at least one of them will do well in competition
i would not be surprised at all if troy gets below 15

Troy was sub-15. I won't say by how much or anything else.

What rules were they running and run distance? Troy scored about 18 @ Mira Loma, State Rules, 3.4 distance and a decent wood (gym floor). Their first run had a mechanical issue so scoring 18 on just one run is impressive.

Note: Quality of the floor (smoothness and potential seams) can blow scores up. We're hearing that our next invitational will be run on a tile floor -- ugh!

4.7m backwards on Nationals rules, Troys first run was around a 30ish score and second run was <15. The floor was relatively smooth altho somewhat dirty/dusty

Hello, I have just been wondering what a good run time is. I'm not sure what my run time was at regionals, but I believe I heard them say 8.5 seconds. Is this good enough or should I try to make my vehicle faster by using a shorter lever arm? I think I got a score of around 40 because it turns out that I had been testing on a floor that was not level, so my vehicle wasn't nearly as accurate as it should have been.
