Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes

Usually, I like very minor changes to the rules, but I don't think logomotion plays that well at a high level with the fixed max of scoring, diminishing tube scores and big point swings based on tenths of seconds in minibot races. If it was up to me, this is what I would do:

Uber tube can be scored after autonomous, but without the doubler. To keep autonomous as important, if an alliance scores all 3 ubers, they get a 4th uber placed in their driver station.

The bottom row of tubes worth 2 points opposed of 1 to get rid of the stupid diminishing returns of being a great scoring alliance. If your great at scoring tubes, you should have a bigger advantage over a good scoring alliance.

Minibot race worth 20 pts for 1st and 2nd and 15 points for 3rd and 4th*. With most minibots being super fast at IRI, a .1 difference in minibot speed shouldn't swing a match 40 points (From you getting 1st and opponent getting 4th to you getting 4th and your opponent getting 1st). Plus, does anyone really want to spend more time this summer working on minibots, in addition to spending more hundreds of dollars on motors?

*Note, with increase in auto and tube scoring points, these points values may need to be increased to 25/15 or 25/20.
