The 10-point differential between 1st and 2nd place in the minibot race in the "official" game rules too often overwhelmed scoring of game pieces. Many minibot races were decided by fractions of a second. Equalizing 1st and 2nd place minibot scores restored the importance of performing well in the other 99% of the match.
Allowing ubertubes to be placed on the racks after autonomous to double the point value of tubes subsequently scored boosted match scores significantly. The six-point per ubertube bonus seemed to be an adequate reward for success in autonomous mode.
We are leaning towards IRI game rules, but haven't discussed serpentine alliance selection yet. We'll make a final decision in the next two weeks.
