Re: The Tournament
Hmmm... I'm not quite ready to assume that the "don't measure the field" rule is to prevent teams from discovering an "out of spec" field. I suppose if a team had reason to believe that a field component was "out of spec" that they still have the option of requesting the referees measure the component.
I'll also point out that teams are given a tolerance in their robot designs. For instance a 28"x38" robot is actually a 27.5"x37.5" robot with a half inch tolerance. It isn't stated that way in the rules, but maybe it should be...
I'll agree that FRC has some kind of quirky rules, but by and large... and given the complexity of the competition... I have to say that I am extremely impressed by the quality of the rule book.
My congratulations to the OP, however, for emphasising the importance of reading ALL the rules.
