<SC3>Please let us know how much is this. As per Q&A 2881 it should be counted as 4 pins on a beam as beam is placed on the bottom of standoff goal. However, some coaches are saying it is 0 points. Could someone please confirm . We have state championship on March 7th and our autonomus code is able to do this only.

The Pins in your photos appear to be fully nested and Connected to the Beam as a result of the Beam resting on the Standoff Goal. Per <SC3> clause D, a Stack that is resting on any part of the Standoff Goal in a way that is more "up and down" than sideways should generally be considered as roughly vertical.

Points awarded for this scenario:

  • Connected Pin [4 x 1 point] = 4 points
  • Connected Beam [1 x 10 points] = 10 points
  • Three-Color Stack [2 x 15 points] = 30 points
  • Matching Goal Bonus (Stacks Connected to a Beam) [2 x 10 points] = 20 points

Total = 64 points
