I've been browsing this forum the last 2 days and there have been a lot of questions.
Some, cited and questioned a rule. Some, asked if ___ was legal. Others, repeated those types.. and then there was the general riff-raff.
Here's a big tip: Read the rules. If you aren't sure if it's legal, check. If you can't find an explicit no, double check that you are in the right section. (i.e. The Game vs The Robot) and do a search within the pdf for a keyword. Many threads with questions have been directly answered via copy and paste of a rule in the rule book.
Still can't get an answer? Then come here. If you look up on the top right of every page, there is a search feature. See? Top right, next to FAQ. Go to that, hunt you some keywords, chances are you'll find it. There have been 2, 3, even 4 threads asking basically the same question. Each start their own discussion on the matter and facts get lost if you don't read each one.
So for your sake, for the moderators sake, for the sake of the people routinely answering questions, and for the sake of the community.. do a bit of legwork before you ask a question. Spend 5 minutes and you'll save a lot more. Especially when waiting for an answer that's already been answered.
Good luck to all teams this year, it's an interesting game.
