Robo Showdown Rule Change Announement

[StephBrierty]

I am pleased to announce the 2 rule changes to Lunacy for the inaugural Robo Showdown in Austin, August 5-6:

No G14.

The game will now have six (6) NI Blue GAME PIECES called "CAPACITIVE SUPER CELLS" which only hold a charge during autonomous mode. Each alliance will start the match with three (3) CAPACITIVE SUPER CELLS that must start on robots but can be distributed however the alliance chooses between their robots (i.e. three (3) on one robot, one (1) on each, etc.); Each robot can still only start with seven (7) GAME PIECES, thus the maximum on a robot would be three (3) CAPACITIVE SUPER CELLS and four (4) MOON ROCKS. CAPACITIVE SUPER CELLS do not have to be scored by the robot. After autonomous mode, the CAPACITIVE SUPER CELLS lose their charge and they are worth zero (0) points if not scored. During autonomous mode CAPACITIVE SUPER CELLS will be worth the same as a regular SUPER CELLS (15 points).
