Re: FIRST Q&A Cop Out?

If I may make a comparison, the Vex Q and A (answered by Karthik) is exceptionally well run. It always gives clear concise answers and generally links to specific rules even if the question has been asked repeatedly or is covered in the rulebook. FIRST is by comparison frequently rude and unhelpful. This specific question which FIRST decided to ignore is potentially critical to determining if a three robot balance becomes the equivalent of a Suspention in 2010: Nearly impossible and not worth the time when you could just score more balls and balance two instead.

I have seen "The purpose of this forum is to answer questions about the Game rules, not to perform design reviews for legality." used several times in response to legitimate questions which I and I'm sure many others would sincerly like to know the answers to.

Very frustrating
Regards, Bryan
