Re: Game Manual - Team Update - 2014-03-11
Glad to see G26-1 fixed! It was causing way too many fouls... and I've never seen them called for the reason the rule was written... the "chokehold" defensive strategy of mechanically clogging the opponent's low goals. I was getting tired of having to look for and call these fouls as a ref!
The modification to R18 makes sense in a lot of ways... it prohibits teams from leaving their complete practice robot outside the event and then going to scavenge spares off of it depending on what's needed (launcher if that breaks, but drivebase transmissions of those fail). Unfortunately it still has it's issues (as discussed at length above)... even if you neglect the problems inherent to the whole bagging/witholding allowance/spare parts process.
