At the LVR, we could NOT do so as the head referee decided to adhere to the letter of the rule...though as a member of the planning committee I tried to talk him into the "relaxation" of the rule since so many events had reported doing so in prior weeks. It was decided that we would wait and see if we were having trouble maintaining a reasonable cycle time. As it turned out we managed to stay on time and stayed within the rule. The question now is what will the practice be at Champs? It would be nice if FIRST would address this issue and all of us enter the event with the same expectations.

So, it appears that two standards of enforcement have been allowed to take place this season regarding T6. At least some of us will be well prepared if T6 is in fact enforced to the letter at Champs...I would sure hate to see a team disabled for failure to set up in time :D

It was my pleasure! I had a fantastic time at SVR meeting teams and making new friends. Working and talking with 3880, 5026, 5027, 254, 2035, 2135, 115, and 5728 was a blast! My only regret was not having enough time to get to know more teams. It seems my contacts list grows a few teams every event Citrus Circuits attends.
