One
really important rule change will need to be on the maximum amount of basketballs in the corral and with the human players during the teleop period.
Bolded is the rule change:
Quote:
[G31]
Only Inbounders may contact Basketballs; each Inbounder may hold a maximum of two Basketballs. During Teleop, Inbounders must remove Basketballs from the Corral immediately upon arrival, unless doing so forces an Inbounder to posess more than two Basketballs. All Basketballs in the Alliance Station must be held by Inbounders once removed from the Corral.
Violation: Foul
Blue Box
The addition of the six-ball exception is intended for situations where a large amount of basketballs are scored in a small period of time, not for strategic benefits to the alliance. Strategies aimed at starving basketballs to gain an advantage through this rule will be kept under strict observation and may still result in foul, as determined by the appropriate referee

The idea behind this is for a situation where it's basically impossible to keep it under six basketballs. Most likely cause of this is a ton of scoring all at once, e.g, 2-3 basketballs per robot, robot A scores in left middle, robot B scores in right middle, robot C scores in top/bottom. While this rule kind of goes without saying, we definitely want to avoid someone complaining and claiming that there was a penalty on the opposing alliance after they score 9 basketballs in a matter of seconds. And since it's IRI, this very well could happen.
