Hi Jason, We fully expect the judges to make the rules more restrictive about how we can operate at the regionals. The first time we blocked the view of the rack by just being on the field (not in their home zone) the opposition was stunned. Our robot is an "outside of the nine dots" design and as such will be the target of a lot of controversy. We have made sure that we are not just a "one note samba" team relying on just one tactic. For example after digesting a lot of the threads, we realized that early on in seeding if we simply deployed our ramps in our home zone at the begining of the teleoperated period and gave our alliance partners the full two minutes to drive up, that move would probably produce more points for our alliance than the opposition could hanging tubes. I agree with you that teams are going to get smarter as regionals progress. Our regional is the last weekend in March so we have the opportunity to be real smart by then.
