Sorry we can't join you guys, we've been kinda busy and the teams finishing up school. We've currently got alot on our plates in offseason plans or we would've loved to come.

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

It'd be nice to go back to Wisconsin, I was there for a week in a cabin during kickoff (missed everything) with 5 friends. Had a blast, but it's a bit boring drive. LOL. Anyways, have fun and good luck with your first offseason event.

The rule clarifications/changes are separate from the game play changes suggested by the hint.

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

Alrighty then... penalties will give a 125% more point deduction? dunno

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

Could there be a 5th trackball that yeilds 125% of the normal scoring?

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

Well, if only a few teams are coming would this mean 2 on 2 matches? If you throw in another Robot (25%) on a Yellow Alliance, you could get 125% if the Red and Blue alliances are both worth 50%. But who ever the intruder is... they should wear a yellow cape...^_^ we have a few...

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

Good idea, but where would they yellow alliance drive from? :)

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

For Clarification...the rule changes to G22 and G42 are COMPLETELY different to the hint. G22 and G42 were rules we saw called most often and felt that they were excessive and they should have..as DeepDark said..be written this way the first time.

Speaking as a member of Team537 who truly has no idea what the game change will be...it seems to me that the "yellow intruder" might be a yellow trackball that provides a multiplier..although the extra robot is an intriguing idea I had never thought of...2v2v1 or 2v2v2 would be interesting...we do have yellow flags for penalties that could be used to denote the bot..lol

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

except if it goes 2v2... then lapbots (such as my team) would be completely useless against two hurdlers unless they took away one track ball

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

The game modifications are in addition to the game hint.

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

Nope, I think you nailed it Dave.

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

Darn, I think Dave might have some inside information!!

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

We're planning for the third alliance (of one) to drive their robot from the parking lot, into the venue (while being sprayed with yellow paint, the robot, not the driver), and intruding onto the competition field. We would prefer to have only those team drivers with highly physic powers in this role.

Or maybe not....

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

125% of an 8 point hurdle is 10 (unless I suck at math)

5th yellow track ball for 10 point hurdles? Seems the most logical to me, but then again thats prolly why it's wrong...

Sorry RUSH won't be there, too far :(

Re: Charger Robotics Invitational (CRI)
 

However, we could just increase the dimensions of the field by 125% to really exhaust the robot's batteries during the match!
