I like your wording Dr Joe. It is probably too late this year to enforce it, though I believe our robot complies. It even has a measurable criteria to make it easier to enforce.

In an earlier post I said the Light had to be "exposed". It was rightly pointed out that that word is not used in the rules. It was however, used in some of the responses from FIRST on the FRC group. I have been given to understand that these responses are to be regarded as "official" interpretations of the rule and that unlike last year (when if it wasn't in the Rules it was ignored) they are to be taken seriously.

In my question, which they declined to post, I pointedly asked that some codification be incorporated into the Rules through an official update. They basically said the "interpretations" on the FRC group ARE official and there was no need to do so. I hope they change their minds on that, the no need part that is.
