2006 IRI Rules Changes and Clarifications

Check it out, as here is the document listing the rules tweaks and clarifications for the 2006 IRI. If you are on an attending team, print this out and share it with your drive team. We will also have copies at the event.

Summary of changes and clarifications:

1. No ball speed limit.
2. Less severe penalties for 1 point goal incursion (but we can still DQ if needed)
3. Yellow card and Red card usage (same as 04 and 05 IRI)
4. Clarification on "high speed long distance ramming" (in rule G22): a robot's full top speed (8+ fps) from over 2 robot lenghts away
5. Clarification of intentional tipping, as stated in rule G22.
6. 2nd round alliance selection: 1-8, 1-8 (not the serpentine draft)
