Re: Game Manual - Team Update - 2014-03-11

Well, another solid update. Focusing on safety, clarifying the withholding allowance, I think it's all around a good update.

I don't really like the R18 ruling, especially without the "functionally identical" caveat that existed previously. I guess I just have an unrealistic expectation for how difficult FIRST wants to make it for us to fix our collective robots.

Now, if we got the functionally identical rule back, making motors and motor controller assemblies legal, I'd be a bit happier.

Mostly, I think I'm just happy that things that need rule updates are getting them, even though I wish we didn't need them.
