There will be no penalty for doubling or tripling your opponents' score.

Also since there are only 15 teams we are going to run with the pits inside our gym because there will only ever be 3 robots in the pits at once.

Another thing we were kicking around is a twist on the game.....of randomly placing a supercell on the field before the start of auto mode. The super cell would be there for anyone's taking. Let me know what you all think on this one....this is not final until we get some input from the teams attending.

We like the idea of putting a supercell (or two) on the field. As a matter of fact that is what we are doing at our invitational. I would understand if you do not do this but our team would be in favor of the idea. The only concern is when it gets announced. Being a team that is coming from CT to PA we would not be able to adjust our autonomous for this if the position of the supercell is known. I do not want to sound like a whiner but I just want to make sure everyone can compete on equal grounds.
