Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes
If the rule is not changed to allow ubertubes to be hung in teleop, at least remove the penalty for doing so. That is, replace <G16> to read, "Ubertubes hung after the conclusion of the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD are not counted for points or as doublers for LOGO PIECES hung over them."
No team is going to intentionally hang a tube for zero points, and I've seen painful instances where a team was penalized because their robot released a tube but was still "supporting" it at the end of the autonomous period. As soon as they backed away, they incurred a penalty. It hurts enough to not score the ubertube; there's no need to rub salt in the wound.
