There will be "mission points" and "time points".
1) Mission points
1. Going through the gate .... 10 points (only first time)
2. Tumbling the target in the defined order (3 targets)....10 points * 3
2) Time points
When the robot returns to the starting/goal area, time points are obtained.
Robot will get 0 time points if it returns to the goal area without going through the gate.
Time points = 120 (seconds) − mission time
If the robot is unable to finish the match, or time runs out, then it will get the mission points which it has attained at that point.
