I think it isn’t GP on GDC’s part to make changes to the rules that affect the design of robots this late in the season. They are saying we don’t care about the time and effort you put into this program “we want the game played this way”. I am fine if they want to clarify rules, but to completely delete them is not right. Also making changes with 3 weeks left is not acceptable. Thanks for wasting my time GDC.
With all due respect....

If the GDC created the game don't you think they have the right to see it played as they envisioned it? Many times in the past the GDC has stepped in to make the game play better within the vision of how they wrote the rules.

The rules were written to play the game...
It is not the other way around.

i know what the rules used to say.. but really now... do you think that is how the game is supposed to be played?

The initial rule had said that once a tube was scored it stayed scored... it never said that it could be scored twice...

i am personally glad this decision was made.
It will make the game better.

This should be a robotic competition... not a competition where a slick rules interpretation leads to victory...

If you need to do that... ask in Q and A as 469 did last year... then proceed.

This year... the GDC says no... not the way the game is to be played...

good luck on the field!!
