[Digo]

Andrew and verdeyw talked about one division playing against another. That would require scouting of both divisions. If it happened this year in nationals, there would be about 150 teams to scout!!


Jeff Waegelin's idea looks very nice, but I found three little problems:

1. If they use soccer balls again many teams would copy ideas (this was already said).

2. Six robots is too much, mainly because there are three alliances. There would be too many things happening at the same time. That's not "TV friendly" and it's very hard for the referees to watch everything.

3. There's no scoring for robots that just walk around or are dead. In 2000 there were 5 points for robots on the ramp, in 2001 there was the end zone and the stretcher and this year we had the home zone. Some teams have serious problems and have to take an important mechanism from the robot, and moving around is the only thing they can do. There must be a way for them to score points too, I think.
