Re: IRI Rule Changes - 2012
I agree with Travis. Robots are designed not just to "win the game" but to play the system of seeding followed by an eliminations tournament. There is a fundamental difference between designing a robot to *nail* a two-robot balance and designing one to triple-balance with the right partners. Changing a rule that directly favors one type of robot build over others for seeding purposes is, IMO, unreasonable.
(Note that I have nothing personally vested in this -- we're not going to IRI.)
