Re: 2015 TRR Rules Changes
Being on the rules committee, I'm sorry I didn't answer this sooner, but I can't begin to tell you how busy my Summer has been.
The landfill was changed to give more maneuvering space for teams to grab from the landfill, attempting coop ,as well as to make it easier for teams attempting to get cans off the step. From what I saw of the matches (I'll admit I don't have any data to back it up), TRR seemed to play out that way.
I'll also admit now after the event that I was pushing for another change to the rules that didn't get much support, but that I deep down inside felt would have made the event more fun. I wanted to give teams the option to field a 2014 robot and give each alliance one yoga ball and permission to launch it across the field to topple stacks, as well as permission to pick up the opposing ball and serve it back.
Now I know this sounds ridiculous, but if you've ever seen my team's robots, you'll know that in my book, ridiculous trumps boring any day.
Be sure to thank everyone else on the rules committee for keeping TRR respectable LoL
