Re: Possible Coopertition Scoring

Maybe the best way to shut this down would be a simple rule change that states that using the provided gear to activate Rotor 1 in autonomous results in 0 points, though this would not have to also negate the ability to score the ranking point for activating all rotors. This should immediately dissuade any alliance from using this gear in autonomous, because once a gear is placed in an active rotor it cannot be removed, and simply placing the gear activates rotor 1. Teams would then have a very simple choice, either just wait the short 30 seconds to get the 40 points once Tele-op starts, or permanently lower the ceiling of their potential scoring by 40pts.
