Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day

While I understand the frustration with a mid-year rule change, I have to applaud FIRST for doing this.

As an attendant at Suffield, I can tell you the blizzard got out of hand. Several of my team mates and I did or almost did get hit by a Frisbee in the final 30 seconds. This is so needed for safety's reason.

I do also understand that many people would assume we would improve the nets. However at this point the next step to protect spectators would be nets hanging from the ceiling of the venue, and there's just too many variables, expense, and hastle to make that happen.

Overall great rule change, and I'm happy to see it happen.
