Re: IRI - Dates, Info and Rule Ideas

My Idea for Qualification balancing:

- Toss out the whole coopertition bit. Let's be honest; Coopertition has no place at IRI.
- Allow triple balances during Qualifications. I personally think having separate game rules during Eliminations vs Qualfications is stupid... They should be the same game.

Also, I think trolling and side-hanging (118) should be legalized... trolling is quite a feat and I think it presents a challenge worth points... since most troll bots couldn't do much with the balls*, its a reasonable trade off.

* At IRI, one could find a way...

Also, I think that it should be made legal to use the 6 Autonomus balls in any way the alliance sees fit, as long as no bot has more than 3 in the bot any given moment... so 3 + 3 + 0 and 1 + 3 + 2 would be legal configurations

I agree that hail mary shots deserve more credit... just not so much that they become like the supercells were in 2009.

I also agree that the kinect needs axed... Useless.

On a last note, I am not sure if it would fit in but I think it would be cool to revive "best play of the day"...
