FRC rules have become increasingly focused on dictating how things should be done on the field instead of defining a solid set of criteria and letting teams flex their muscle.
Agreed. The amount of prescriptive rules this year sort of makes the game no fun. They pretty much wanted a shooter that can go over at least the bridge. The rules need to allow more than a single design going forward.

Also the GDC should retract the answer making this strategy illegal. It is to late for the teams that have designed to this option to change.
