FIRST and the Game Design Committee did an excellent job creating rules for the 2011 game, Logo Motion. At IRI, we have the luxury of experiencing these rules through a complete season. We have made tweaks to these rules, as shown below.
Here is a link to the rules changes, in detail (pdf).
In summary, these changes are explained as such:
Ubertube may be in play during driver mode, acting as doublers. Ubertubes placed during driver mode do not get the 6 point bonus.
Mini-Bot points are as such: 20 for winner, 20 for second, 15 for third, 15 for fourth.
Lane violations will be called if this hinders the opponents’ actions or if a tube is touched.
Four teams will be on each alliance in the finals. Alliance selection is 1-8, 1-8, 8-1. No extra backup teams are needed, since each alliance has its own backup. There is no requirement to play the backup team.
