Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes

I like the idea of changing the minibot scores. I think that scores for the minibot should be based on time remaining on the clock. Lower time = better score:

10 seconds to 7.5 seconds on the clock = 5 points
7.4 seconds to 5 seconds on the clock = 10 points
4.9 seconds to 2.5 seconds on the clock = 15 points
2.4 seconds to .09 seconds on the clock = 20 points

This would force teams who want maximum points to wait, and those who just want points to choose how many they get. Both alliances could get a minibot in the 15 point range, if they wanted to. I also like the idea of opening up the poles to any team, but there should be rules.

Ex. Teams can only occupy the opposing alliance's pole if a robot from that alliance is not at the pole at the 15 seconds mark, or if no minibot has been deployed there after 5 seconds.
