Re: IRI - Dates, Info and Rule Ideas
Instead of altering timing (which I'm a bit leery of, given how longer runs get our CIMs way too hot on last year's robot), how about this: A Kinect-using robot can pre-load a third ball.
A money ball could be fun to fight over--say that the ref puts it in the corral of the alliance that "won" the hybrid period at 30 seconds (at the train whistle). If there's a tie, put one in both corrals. With the right point value (+10 over the basket's value? 15?), it could open up a lot of new strategies (both offensive and defensive).
