Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes

I'm an advocate for eliminating diminishing returns on the pegs. As with the FTC game this year (Barely any baton scoring & too much balancing), not enough emphasis was placed on the scoring of as many game pieces as possible. Instead, the endgame's point values encouraged many teams to head over to the minibot poles with plenty of time left in the match. I'm not hating on the teams that did this; however, I'm slightly disappointed that we didn't see higher scores due to the fact that, for many teams, it was not worth the trouble.

I hope the GDC has learned not to over-value any one scoring aspect of the game, especially not the endgame.
