Re: Texas Robotics Invitational 2015 - "TRI Again" - Jun 20th

We finally have settled on rule changes for TRI. The goal being to keep as many aspects of the game as possible while still improving the game and reducing penalties. Also we wanted a rule set that could still use the current FMS scoring system.

The complete rule document can be found here
TRI Rules 2015

Thanks to the IRI and ChezyChamps organizers for their rule changes as we incorporated some of those into our changes as well.

General things we are changing that weren't in the IRI and ChezyChamps rules.
- Numbering rules are gone, you don't have to number your ramps, etc.
- Autonomous sets count as long as any part of the set item is in the volume of the autonomous zone.
- During the autonomous period, robots may not contact the recycling container on the far-left side of the step (Still a race for the middle two cans)
- Unprocessed litter on your opponent's side of the field is worth 1 pt. instead of 4 pts
- And our random selection order is back again for another year. We thought about changing it but the feedback we got was people liked it, so its sticking around.
