OOh, me like this rule change. But, it would have to be a seperate skills competition. In this year's game, I did see some matches where everyone, or maybe 3 robots hung very quickly, and then there was not much of a game afterwards. It was nice that they could hang so fast, but even as our own drivers have admitted, it lacks the excitement of a full game with everything on the field happening (ie: ball grabbers, human player scoring, decapping, capping), and we are a hanging robot.

It's just one aspect of the game folks, so if you have a hanging only skills event, then have skills events where you test the ball collecting skills, and the HP skills, and the Auto-mode skills too. Don't just make it a hanger show-off event. Let everyone show their skills.
