Re: 2014 IRI Rule Changes

The 4th ball rule wasn't meant to be confusing.

The basic FIRST season rule applies, but if the team wants to use the 4th ball, it can be placed the same as if there was an "extra" ball during the regular season.

And a robot can only start touching 1 ball (just like regular season).

If the alliance wants to start with 2 robots in the white zone and 1 in the goalie zone, then the 2 extra balls can be placed the same as if there was an "extra" ball during the regular season (1 extra for each robot or 2 extra for one robot).

And, i would say that if an alliance wants to start with just 1 robot in the white zone, then the 3 extra balls can be placed the same as if there was an "extra" ball during the regular season.

So, if someone wants to make a 4 ball autonomous, and they can convince their partners to go to the goalie zone, well ....

PS - THIS WILL BE CLARIFIED AND CONFIRMED AT THE DRIVERS MEETING -
