Re: Announcing BattleCry@WPI 8!

I think the rule change is fine. In the regular season, I only saw a few instances with an alliance scoring 2 keepers, and none more than 2 spiders apart. One keeper limits an alliance to a 128 point row of seven, much more than enough to counteract a ramp. Sure there may be a few instances where this will limit an alliance signifigantly, but I'd estimate this will happen only 3-5 times in the entire competition. An alliance with two robots that can score autonomously on the corners consistantly and beat opponents to it would probably do very well even without this bonus
