  2.  Game Tweaks!  (can you imagine an Overdrive match with fewer <g-22> calls and more opportunities to score?)

Very nice rule changes. That’s definitely how G22 should’ve been written all season. The BC.s will make for an interesting end-game too – it won’t be so dominated by capping robots.

I liek the G22 change…the same is happening at the beantown blitz

I dont know how I feel about the bonus circles…we’ll see how it goes

The Golden Trackball?

The golden trackball will be making an appearance at the beantown blitz this year…this much i can tell you

With the circles, I hope none of the teams going this year have robots smaller than the circle. I know there are a few robots built this year that come close.
