Re: IRI - Dates, Info and Rule Ideas

Its too easy to score in Hybrid. Start the match with the bots touching the barrier. Maybe even on the far side of the barrier. Then you either have to shoot a longer distance accurately or move closer before shooting in hybrid.

Allow each driver to decide when Hybrid ends for his bot via a button at the alliance station. Each ball scored in Hybrid gets the +3 bonus points. This would definitely encourage Kinect to control the robot so that it can scoop up and shoot more balls in Hybrid. Probably not practical though, since it requires someone to track who is still in hybrid and who is not -- might work if hybrid continued for an entire alliance until someone on the alliance ended for the entire alliance simultaneously. Then the automatic scoring is not dependent upon where the ball came from.
