Re: Limitations too far?

The only problem I really have with the design rules are the no descoring rule and the nothing outside the bumper perimeter rule. I separate descoring an allies trailer from blocking your own, however. I agree that teams shouldn't be able to block their own goals, but It would have been awesome if you could empty out an allied goal. The game would constantly go back and forth, it would be crazy.

And as far as I can think, the bumper perimeter rule means the only physically effective way to score is to launch the cells. I see no other option, unless maybe you have absolutely perfect control of your robot, as though driving on carpet. You can't get close enough to use any kind of dumper.

I also fear we will see a huge number of boxes on wheels. I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong, of course. I suspect the top teams will still be awesome, but I don't think there will be as many as usual.
