I want to see a low human player game. The teams can put as many balls in the hopper as they want, then the rest are dumped on the floor, begin match. The human players get to throw only what is shoved into the airlock, and super cells, if they so choose.

Thats a good idea. But not all the balls should be taken from the human players though.

Perhaps we'll see something along the lines of one of BattleCry's rule changes for this year:

These MOON ROCKS must be completely supported by the ROBOT – they can not be placed on the CRATER floor. The remaining MOON ROCKS are retained by the PAYLOAD SPECIALIST for that TEAM, to be used during the MATCH (containers will be provided at each PAYLOAD SPECIALIST location to temporarily store GAME PIECES). At the conclusion of AUTONOMOUS MODE, each PAYLOAD SPECIALIST will be provided with a bin of ten (10) additional MOON ROCKS for use during the remainder of the MATCH.

Re: Who do you want to see at IRI this year?

I agree that human player scoring during auton isn't a great aspect of the game, but also many teams, including my own use the auton period to drive to the human player and load up the robot. I would like to see a rule change along the lines of: human players may throw moon rocks into play during auton, but moon rocks scored by the human player will not count. I realize however, how hard this would be to enforce.

No it doesn't, but it does convey that your coach wants you to do what you are told! :rolleyes:

Re: Who do you want to see at IRI this year?

I'd like to see geographic diversity. How about something like: Any team from outside lower 48 & Ontario, plus 1/3 of the remaining teams must be from west of the Rockies, 1/3 from between the Rockies and the Mississippi River, and 1/3 from east of the Mississippi. Or maybe do 1/4 from each time zone.

From the west coast, in addition to my own team 980, I'd like to see (in no particular order, and probably leaving out some teams): Holy Cows (team 1538), BeachBots (team 330), RAWC (team 968), Cheesy Poofs (team 254), High Rollers (team 987), Xbot (team 488), D'Penguineers (team 1717), Spyder (team 1622), Kika Mana (team 368)

Re: Who do you want to see at IRI this year?

there has been mention about the old mentor match...like back in 2006
i know Paul and Mike would be up for the match and i think it would be amazing to actually see the mentors take control of the robots while the students coach :p

Re: Who do you want to see at IRI this year?

Here's an idea for you. I'd like to see six teams step up to the challenge of an auton only round. Six bots, no humans, who will win?

Are you sure? :D I would be willing to operate Raptor with Adam, would be fun. Maybe there should be more than one match of mentors behind the controls.

Anyways I'd like to see:
67, 217, 330, 254, 968, 1717, 1114, 2775, 971, 973, 1538, 987, 399, 1625, 2056, 148, 71, 245, 45, 79, 233, 1771, 234, 1902, 111, 188, 121, 247, 1124, 768, 365, 1918, 222, 2753, 1218, 488, 1649, and others I am forgetting.

Re: Who do you want to see at IRI this year?

I would love to see 1726 participate (I'm graduating, it would be fun to see our team play with the big dogs ;) ), but we're usually strapped for money, so I doubt we'll be able to go. As for rookies, well... Seems 2753 did a good job this year, making it to Einstein and all :rolleyes:
