Great team list!
20, 58, 88, 125, 131, 138, 155, 166, 172, 176, 190, 238, 319, 348, 467, 501, 509, 663, 811, 839, 1058, 1073, 1289, 1474, 1517, 1519, 1735, 1922, 2648, 2876, 3467, 3499, 3566, 3585

Rule Changes:
-A Great Pumpkin (an Oranged Colored Ball) will be randomly placed on the truss in one of 5 spots. Ball is worth 50 points in autonomous and 20 points in teleop.
-an alliance must have 4 balls on the field at the start of a match and each robot must start with at least one ball.

I have a couple of questions on the rule changes. How is it even possible to score the Orange ball in autonomous without breaking any other rules? Are some rules going to go away to make it possible? Also, how does the second rule apply to goalie bots? How do they start with a ball if they want to use their goalie stick?
Thanks.
