Re: Rule Changes at off season competitions

What I would like to see is the ball value weighted a little more. This would make the game more interesting and fun to watch. It would make hanging more equal to ball collecting. Say make the balls worth 10 pts. each or 2 of them worth 50 pts. Or make the bar worth 25 pts instead of 50. This would force teams to spend some of the time trying to fight for balls and push balls around for at least some of the games. It would take away from the boring hanging matches where all the teams just hang from the bar. I think it might give it a more of a mad dash to the finish effect; instead of robots just going for the bar. This rule change wouldn't change robots but strategies. This would keep teams from having to redesign their robots. Which in the off season can be a pain.
