Rules Clarification in Team Update #1

[Madison]

Ok, I can understand, here is a well thought out list of complaints.

-The rounding down removes stratagie and sofistication from the game
-Rounding up adds to an intresting (unknown) feeling that one team might win over another if it's not nesting.
-Adds a twist and another thing to do.
-Adds possiblitys to the design of the robot.

This is a matter of perspective. This doesn't make the games less sophisticated, and strategy is still equally important.

In fact, I'd argue that the rule clarifications are beneficial. Where before you may have seen incentive to irregularly stack your bins to gain a larger multiplier, now there may be incentive to properly nest your bins or otherwise design a machine that protects the stability of a stack. It's still a challenge.
