Why I think FIRST should reconsider...

[EStokely]

I admit it took me a bit to understand the actual wording but now that I see it....

Yikes! This is almost impossible to explain. What happened to the one page explanation? The elevator ride up? My grandmother in 3 minutes?

But I also see it as a positive for strong teams. Those that can adjust how high to put a single empty bin and can count really fast!

I have no problem with a pile being a stack but only so far as it follows the same rules. SHU as the measuring device. Any box in that stack does not get counted as a 1 pointer.

As I play more with the bins I have images of piles of bins right at the ramps, robots trying to break thru, I said 'trying' , that wire mesh was selected for a reason.

I still like the game but now , as Joe pointed out, need to start looking at the game differently. If we design to this rule to have it change later it will sound familiar.

Lets see what awaits us in the next update be fore we get too excited.

I guess one more cardboard model wouldn't hurt...
