Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes
I personaly don't know why were changing any of the scoring rules. The penalties are understandable but changing the way robots score doesn't make sense to me.
I would like the score board to display the times each minibot got(maybe that could decide points?). But having all minibots get the same amount of points just doesn't make sense to me, it removes the competitiveness and challenge of that part of the game.
The current setup rewards the 1st minibot with the advantage(if all 4 minbots reach the top) so even if they get 1st and 4th, they still lead that part of the game with 5 points. Certainly something that a good tube scorer can get around.
