Im seeing 23 with 1065’s Squirrel missing. Also it may be a good idea to have a team bring their practice bot to fill in for a team that no shows in order to keep a 24+ team event. 2383, 1065, 1523, 180 and 179 have all at one point had practice bots that are not registered for the event.
Also, any thoughts on rule changes? I can’t think of a reason why the IRI possession rules make the game worse especially in the case of unintentional posession of an opponents ball.
Do you know for sure that 801 is bring their practice bot? 1523’s practice bot was practically destroyed so i would not expect them to bring a twin, not to mention it behaved completely differently.
