Oh, he forgot to mention that the center pyramid, would be built inverted. This will truly bring the balancing back into the game that is sorely missing, along with true coopertition.

This change greatly favors teams that decided that waiting for humans to belay the robot down was a waste of time, and just programmed the robot to climb down too.

crap diem.

Come back tomorrow and say that :rolleyes:

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

No, see, the pyramids will all start at the center of the field, and they'll be on casters, and you'll have to race to get them, then tow them back to your home zones. Although, some teams will climb the pyramids in mid-court, then shoot a tape measure back to their home zones.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

I think we should have mini-bots climb the co-op pyramid.
254 wins.
GG.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

You must fill the pyramids with kickballs, balance them on the invisible teeter totter in the center of the field, and then get your four alliance bots to the far side of the field in the shortest amount of time possible before e-stopping. Balancing the trackballs mentioned in my previous post on top of the pyramid goals yields double points for each ball balanced. A 10% score bonus is achieved by placing your robot light lens color's trackball (yellow or green for the win!) on the goal.

At this point, the field explodes and this game is never heard from again.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

I totally missed the part about since shooter wheels cannot ever be safe, that they will not be allowed on the robot.

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

I am sorry if I ruined the joke for every one but that's still no excuse for using that word *inibo*!

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

I really like the idea, it really adds a new level of strategy to the game! Hopefully my team will be able to make it there for our first time ever!

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

Given that we have a short robot that fits under the 1st level of the pyramid, I'm all for it.:)

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

I am struggling with the "White" tower. Shouldn't purple be the color of Coopertition?

Re: IRI - 2013 Rule Changes
 

I agree, let's do it based off of points like in 2010! I loved the 6v0 matches :rolleyes:

On a sidenote, hiyou, I would actually enjoy seeing something like that as long as it still kept the competitive gameplay.

You mean Yellow.

Rule update:

Upon the surface of the carpet, there will be a 3 inch deep layer of shelled, dried corn kernels.
