Battle O' Baltimore website. The rule changes are:
Trailer Modification:
•Each alliance will only have two trailers in play rather than the standard three trailers, reducing the number of trailers per match to four total.
•Each alliance will have the option of picking which of the two robots in the alliance will have trailers attached.
•Each alliance will have the option of picking which of their starting three positions have the trailers in them.
The free running robots will have color designations on them which identify which alliance they are part of.
Suspension of rule G14:
•There is no penalty in subsequent matches for scoring differentials in prior matches
Decrease in total number of Moon Rocks in play:
•The total number of moon rocks in play for each match will be reduced by three per team or nine per alliance
Super Cell Modification:
•One super cell for each alliance will have a Baltimore crab designation that is clearly visible to all.
•This super cell will be worth 25 points if scored rather than the 15 point bonus for a standard super cell.
Alliance Selection:
•The top eight team will pick their first alliance partners in accordance with standard FIRST alliance selection practices. The third alliance partner will be chosen by lottery.
