Build event raw score changes

Post by windu34 »

What is the general change in raw score for build events (such as robot arm, electric vehicle, air trajectory) from major invitationals (MIT for example) to Nationals? For example for robot arm, if you see one perfect score at MIT, how many would you expect for nationals?

If you actually only saw one at MIT, then I would expect (based on Robo Cross a few years ago) maybe four to seven at Nationals.

I don't know how similar it will be this year, but in 2012 there were 6 perfect scores, and in 2013 there were 2. However, in 2013 people may have been distracted by the height task.
