Re: Offseason Rule Change Recommendations?

You mean blue and orange?

I'd think about changing <G14> (though think about it, it does keep matches closer and adds an element of startegy to the game, but on the same token no one really enjoys it and it does punish good defense).

I think the maximum preload and point values are perfect as is right now, I wouldn't change any of those.

I personally don't really like this. It makes defending against them almost impossible, as you have to stay away from half of the field (or a robot if you're named ThunderChickens) for nearly a whole match. From a spectator position, the suspense of the supercell was one of the best parts of the game according to the non-FIRST people I knew watching the events.

It kind of messes up the "balance" the GDC worked on with regular to supercells too.
