Travis do you mean full IRI rules including the no co-op?
I am marginally opposed to no co-op bridge. I am very much against applying any form of IRI qualifying triple balance rules out of principle, but if most everyone makes the elimination rounds, any resultant blar randomly doled out due to the rule would be mitigated.

If I had a say, I'd want to see stock Rebound Rumble. Many robots are tired and plenty of drive teams are going to be new and/or rusty. I really don't look forward to random combinations of that reality attempting to triple in quals. Six year olds playing soccer comes to mind, as does the "agony of defeat" ski jumper.

Also, as many of the students we would be bringing would be brand new, I'd like to show them a game with the original FRC-intent elements in place, and that includes the coopertition element. You can be certain it will be a part of future FRC games - get them used to the concept now.

Did 48 use their stinger at IRI Travis?
Didn't need to in the match we tripled with 469 and 4334. Barely had to overhang. Didn't/couldn't attempt any triples in other matches.
