We had planned to just move around the game pieces by taking them on and off each peg. Using one of each game piece to do the whole rack. We think we could do one full rack this way with just our robot. Now our current design is not optimized for the new game design. Why can't they just leave the rules alone instead of constantly changing them. 
Now the whole game is minibot or your loose. Our idea would have made a more even game between minibot and robot. And also better to watch. |
This was addressed in questions and answers earlier, and there is another rule that specifies that scores are calculated by where the tubes are at the end of the match.
