Re: Team Update #6

I'm really disappointed with the minibot ruling. I thought for sure that they would just allow teams to bring out a pole to retrieve Minibots. Is it really that big of a deal? We have found a way to consistently get 6 robots on and 6 robots off the field in a safe manner, I think that we would be able to safely retrieve our 4 or less minibots too...

As far as the defenseive rulings go, its a terrible thing to change the game this drastically this late in the build season. If the rules were written this way from the beginning it would have been clear the GDC wanted to discourage defensive strategies and all teams would have focused 100% on building a fast tube scorer and didn't have to worry about being defended against. Now teams that wanted to focus on defense are way behind the eightball and teams that maybe went against mecanum because they didn't like not being apush through a defender now regret that decision because likely that scenario won't play out nearly as often.

I mean does the GDC have difficulty dissecting their own game? It had to be clear to them that straffing between the towers was the perfect location to play defense. Either recognize that early and take it out of the game or live with your decision. Don't change it in week 3.
