 I've completely figured [the hint] out:
Robots will have to move around, and also displace objects in order to score points.

Re: Rule 8.4.1
I'll just come out and say it. It is a horrible change.
Serpentine selection (that is what this is, by the way) only works for drafts with many rounds (6 or more) and is used to balance RANDOM selection order. The seeding rounds are not random. Although some luck is involved, the top few teams are there mainly because they deserve to be there. For small regionals, this is actually a huge disadvantage to the top seeds. Do not be surprised at teams fighting to be number 7 or 8 at some events this year. I think it should be the old way. -Paul P.S. - My disclaimer is that I have not read this rule and I am taking Lil' Lavery's word that it is indeed changed. |
