2014 IRI Rule Changes

[Kevin Leonard]

As much as it helps the game flow- I really dislike the removal of the zone requirement for possessions. It removes the benefit of teams that built their robots to be able to truss from the white zone.

This is exactly what I thought. Now long range trussers are a lot more valuable then before.

I think this is a good thing because unless they can change their shot power like 33 or 118 can, then range past 30 ft or so is a trade off for accuracy in the high goal. It should also make the game feel more natural because teams wont be forced to go to specific zones before passing off the ball.

Overall I love the rule changes.
