redbeard0531 & Ricksta121:
Keep your "improvements" or ideal changes in hand for the Team Forum or for any post season event that you might be organizing, but for now you're going to have to deal with what FIRST decides. If they want to allow for negative points, fine. If they unintentionally made people think that there was a possibility of getting negative points, fine. You're not the people making up the rules for the 2003 FRC, and you're going to have to deal with the rules just like the rest of us. So what's the point in complaining so much? If you think that a petition (wether it be on the CD Forums or emailed directly to FIRST) will make FIRST change their mind, you're gravely mistaken. No matter what FIRST decides there will be people who are upset. They won't be gaining anything by changing the rules based on the remonstrations of some FIRSTers, they'd just be in the same boat as they are now. Give the complaining a rest, and put your emotion into something more fruitful (i.e. strategizing/designing/prototyping/building a robot to compete in the game that FIRST is putting on). Remember what Dean said about fairness? Think about how lucky you are to even be a part of this competition/family, and not live in some undeveloped nation without drinking water (for example).
