Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2011 Rule Changes

Not to spoil all the fun for those not able to witness this craziness at IRI but in several cases, the "extra" Ubertube was one that actually fell into the opposition's feeder lane when a robot's autonomous failed to hang it successfully.

And I think Gary is correct about the 5 Ubertubes on one scoring rack. I seem to recall that happening in an early match when the teams probably hadn't fully come to understand that strategy "opportunity"!

I actually would anticipate some matches at Cow Town, for any number of reasons, where robots fail to successfully execute their auton and some Ubertubes end up hanging on the "wrong" end of the field...we shall see!
