Aim High's Game Rules section 4.3.1. is voided for IRI. Fire at will!
Keep in mind that the 120 pound weight limit is still in effect. Scales
will be available, please don't make us use them. If a team modifies
their robot enough to make other teams wonder if they are over the
weight limit, we will check their robot weight. Consider your GP as you
make any robot mods.

We are also working on other rule modifications, and will send out
detailed information once these are finalized:

a. We will be replacing the DQ for 1 point goal incursion with a
penalty. The level of severity for this penalty is to be determined.
Our intent is to still discourage incursion, but to not have DQ's for
this action. We are re-wording rule G21 to make this clear.
b. We are considering the replacement of the serpentine draft with an
alternate method. Our intent is to either go back to 1-8, 1-8 or try
another method for 2nd round selection. First round selection will
definitely be 1-8. Once this is finalized, an update will be sent.

Thanks!
Libby, Chris, and Andy

I think this should be a new rule - As long as the ball is being thrown at Arefin, no speed limit is required :)

So...did everyone see that? The announcer said "everyone needs to make their way outside". And they completely cleared.

I hope everyone is okay.
