Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes

In thinking about this several months ago, the single rule change that I came up with to balance the game better was to replace the doubling effect of the logos with a straight 15 point bonus per logo. This would have the following effects:

1. Keeps the score for the top row approximately the same and preserves motivation to score autonomous high.
2. Provides incentive to complete logos on middle and bottom rack
3. Being two complete logos ahead offsets a 1-2 (50) vs. 3-4 (25) minibot result.

Rack scoring (with/without autonomous)
Code:
                      Current                                 Proposed
Top (2 Ubers)        (6 + 6 + 3) * 2 + 12 = 42       (6 + 6 + 3) + 15 + 12 = 42
Top (1 Uber)         (6 + 3 + 3) * 2 +  6 = 30       (6 + 3 + 3) + 15 +  6 = 33
Top (0 Ubers)        (3 + 3 + 3) * 2 +  0 = 18       (3 + 3 + 3) + 15 +  0 = 24
Middle (2 Ubers)     (4 + 4 + 2) * 2 +  8 = 28       (4 + 4 + 2) + 15 +  8 = 33
Middle (1 Uber)      (4 + 2 + 2) * 2 +  4 = 20       (4 + 2 + 2) + 15 +  4 = 27
Middle (0 Ubers)     (2 + 2 + 2) * 2 +  0 = 12       (2 + 2 + 2) + 15 +  0 = 21
Bottom (2 Ubers)     (2 + 2 + 1) * 2 +  4 = 14       (2 + 2 + 1) + 15 +  4 = 24
Bottom (1 Uber)      (2 + 1 + 1) * 2 +  2 = 10       (2 + 1 + 1) + 15 +  2 = 21
Bottom (0 Ubers)     (1 + 1 + 1) * 2 +  0 = 6        (1 + 1 + 1) + 15 +  0 = 18
