Rules
Raul,
Right On. The message we gave them at the forum was very clear and I thought they were receptive to it. However, the persons there are not necessarly the people in charge.
I would say that 80% of the manual could have been released early in December. Items like materials rules, wheels ( a big concern of FIRST ), shipping, parts manufacture, and many other non-game concerns need to be established in advance not at the last moment as a reaction to a situation presented by a team, as has been the case in the past.
It all comes down to advance planning. I am sure the FIRST staff is very busy and this is low priority on their major list of things to do.
I thought we were going to get the kit ( samples of raw materials - additional materials list) in advance so we could stock up if we wanted to? This would also lower the stress on the supplier.
I sure hope they have their system of Q & A - updates better organized this year. The system last year was a major hardship for everyone.
Of extreme importance, I sure hope they decide on rules that are clear, concise and well thought out, stick with them the full season.
