I certainly liked the new rules, even having a 4th machine on the alliance. Neat little strategy twist.

The only rule left to be fixed is the possession of more than one tube at at time rule. It should be reworded to prohibit intentional posession of more than one tube at at time. I just find it really silly that if a tube is accidentally thrown onto a robot, and it can't be removed, it puts them out of commission for the entire match. I saw it happen to 330 at IRI, it was very disheartening. I don't think that it would be too hard to judge either. I'd rater have a ref make a tough call every once in a blue moon than the way things played out this year.
