Re: How does 469 not violate <R19>?

Instead of imagining a new way to achieve some aspect of the game, 469 created a new way of playing the entire game. The only disadvantage is that it requires them to be dependent on a bot that can score at least a fair amount. As other teams start to learn how to defend against this, though, they'll need an alliance member that can score really well and/or someone who can keep other robots from bumping it during delivery. It'll be interesting to see them in later competitions, as people come up with creative ways on how to stop them.
I think some high caliber teams can compete with them without that type of mechanism. A defensive bot with a good kicker could clear out that zone, leaving 469's alliance with not much else to do, but to move to the middle and fight over balls. I wonder if we have to wait until MI State or Atlanta to see such an epic match.
