Most of these rules I understand and appreciate, for example, I love the addition of more balls in autonomous, it's perfect to showcase the outstanding teams at IRI, and the more relaxed rules will be a nice change of pace. And who, seeing rule change #4, could resist the mental image of that one team that scores twenty point cycles in about 5-10 seconds? (I know it probably won't happen, but it would be so cool!) However, I can't think of a good reason for the lack of zone requirements. I felt that it forced teams to specialize in a specific part of the game, which fostered teamwork in general. Or I could just be being staid. Can anyone tell me why this rule is being implemented?
