Re: Tower Strength Raised to 10 for CMP

Seems like a pretty straightforward change. In the New England District at least, by the latter end of competition season (and especially at District Champs) you were regularly seeing both alliances get the breach ranking point every single match. It often came down to which team could score more boulders. Increasing the tower strength only seems to up the ante. It's obviously going to favor the teams who can score quickly and consistently. As others have said, having a tower score <-2 wasn't particularly uncommon amongst the upper caliber of teams, so I'm skeptical about the magnitude of change this rule will make. I think the obvious conclusion is that it will separate the good/quick shooting bots from the exceptional/rapid shooting bots. Things like 2-ball autonomous code will be even more valuable going into worlds.
