I've seen Team 190's 2008 controversy mentioned several times in separate threads this year. I would like to correct some common errors:
The Q&A in question was the exact opposite, it seemed to indicate the design was legal before the season started, and was clarified after the SECOND regional to clarify that it was illegal. The Q&A question was posted in build week 2 by Team 2158, not Team 190.
190 presented their interpretation to members of the GDC and two regional head refs at the regional competitions.
I do not wish to derail this thread any more than it has been, so if anyone is interested in further details or the exact Q&A I am referring to, you can PM me. I do not know if it's still accessible online.
