Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes

I also agree that the minibots are to heavily weighted, but I do think there should be a reward for finishing first, I mean it was designed to be a race. I think the idea of first and second being 20 and third and fourth being 15 is a good solution, because if one alliance scores first and second, then there is only a ten point difference, as opposed to a 25 point difference. Ten points is easily made up on the rack, where as 25 is not.

Also, as a ref, I agree with allowing more accidental lane incursions. I do not think teams should be able to grab tubes out of their opponents lanes, but I think as long as they:
a) don't take a tube (bumping it is ok as long as it stays in the lane)
b) don't interfere with the opponent robot in any way
they should not be penalized. This would drastically cut down on penalties, as quite seriously 75% of penalties I called were on actions that wouldn't be penalized under these two stipulations.
