That is precisely why I created this thread. There is no question there is a problem. Let's work toward an equitable solution. What suggestions do you have to change it? What specifically needs overhauled fundamentally, and what specific changes would you make?

As can be seen over the years, posting here achieves next to nothing in terms of driving change.
That said, they need to stop answering questions about vague rules with the rules, or giving answers that are complete non-answers, or giving answers of "we do not comment on robot designs" to questions that have nothing to do with robot design and everything to do with rule intent (eg: can you hang from the side of the bridge?).
At times it's also like the Q&A is the GDC's way of having fun, where they clearly avoid answering the intent of a less than eloquent question and instead give some useless answer as a method of poking fun at the question itself.
Oh and what the heck is a reasonably astute observer? There's about 3000 of those reading Chief everyday that are probably split down the middle about what grab, grasp, and grapple mean. If you can't define the fundamental terms that make or break the rules, something is wrong.
