Re: Inaugural 2011 Texas Robot Round-up!

GAME FIELD & RULES:

Teams will play a modified version of Logo Motion on an official FIRST field supplied and staffed by AndyMark.

There will be some changes put into place at Texas Robot Round-Up (similar to those being used at IRI this year for those who are familiar with that event) that will hopefully help improve game play and make things better for teams. We will make sure to notify you of any additional changes prior to the event.

Scoring:
- Ubertubes can be scored in teleop. Ubertubes scored during don't count for points, but they are still counted as doublers.
- Scoring on the highest row is 3 points per tube, middle and bottom rows are 2 points per tube
- Minibot Races: 1st and 2nd place: 20 points, 3rd and 4th place: 10 points

Penalties:
<G23> The original rule calls for a penalty and a Red Card for any contact with the opponent's tower. This is changed to just a penalty for incidental contact, and a red card for intentional contact.
<G33> The original rule calls for a penalty for breaking the plane of the opponents' lane. This is changed to a penalty when a robot drives into the opponents' lane or any breaking of the plane that would interfere with or impede an opposing robot would be a penalty regardless of duration. Teams will not be penalized for momentary incidental crossing of the line into the lane.


**MENTOR TOURNAMENT:

A Mentor Tournament is planned for Friday, July 29th at 4:30 PM. The above rules will apply. Alliances of 3 teams will play in finals type matches (no qualifications). Depending on the number of interested teams, we may start at Semi Finals. The alliance with the highest summed score at the end of two matches will move on to the next round (ie we will not be playing the traditional best 2 out of 3).

Drivers and Human Players must have graduated high school in 2010 or earlier - they do not necessarily have to be mentors on your team (they can be parents, teachers, sponsors, etc) and if necessary you may pull people from another team. Coaches may be either high school students or adults.

The order of alliance selections will be determined by the number of cans your team brings for the Canned Food Drive** (See below).

If your teams is interested in participating in the mentor tournament, please send an email to jessjank@gmail.com with the subject "TTR Mentor Tournament - Team ####". Please include the contact information of at least one member of the Mentor Drive Team in your email.


**SKILLS CHALLENGE:

A Skills Challenge is planned for Saturday, July 30th at noon. Each interested team will have one opportunity to score as many points as possible during a match consisting of 15 seconds of autonomous and 1 minute (60 seconds) of teleop. Two teams will compete on the field during a match, however, teams will not be allowed to cross the the midfield line (There should be absolutely NO contact between robots). Crossing the midfield line will result in a disqualification from the Skills Tournament. The team's human player will be on the same side of the field as their team, supplying the field with tubes. Teams will have access to 6 of each Logo piece and 3 Ubertubes. The team who scores the most points overall will be the Skills Challenge Champion.

Your team can sign up for the Skills Challenge when you check in at the event, or can send an email to jessjank@gmail.com with the subject "TRR Skills Tournament - Team ####".
