Silly reasoning. Silly wrong reasoning.
The fact is we all picked our strategy under a different set of rules than what we will now be playing under. While this may not be a problem for some teams it is a problem for others.
I'm not looking forward to explaining to my students this change. Not because it may or may not impact our strategy or our robot's performance but because of what it says at a deeper level. I don't want to have to explain to my students (again) why we are playing Whose Line Is It Anyway... The points are made up and the rules don't matter. Why all the analysis we did at the beginning of the season is changed now that it's too late to fix anything. What I'm telling them is that life isn't fair and it doesn't matter if you use due diligence only if you have dumb luck and the powers that be don't make a change that should have been obvious if they'd given this game even a modicum of thought.
