Re: IRI Rule Changes for 2011

Maybe people are just exaggerating a bit, but i don't see why everyone's now saying there's no need to work really hard on the minibot and deployment. Just because every team at IRI is an all-star team doesnt mean all four towers are going to be triggered every match, let alone 3. I saw some of the best teams in the world this year consistently miss deployments . And the minibot race is almost more important now because of how close matches are going to be based on tubes, and the extra 10 points Alliance A might get will help them a ton. I'm just glad my team has worked hard on a new deployment. We now have a drop-down deployer with a "Y" to center us and a minibot ramp that propels a 2 1/4 lb. magnet-mounted 1.2 second minibot.
