Re: New robot rules at Peachtree

Daniel - this is not an added requirement. It is a public announcement to the teams attending the event about how an existing robot rule will be interpreted at the event.

Lets pretend the announcement never happened. At the event, the LRI goes around and talks with all the teams with stored energy shooters individually about their shooters and tells them for safety he's requiring them to add some sort of safety interlock if they don't already have it. Would you assume this is a new rule implemented by the event, or would you assume it's covered by R08?

Is it the specific wording of the communication that has everyone upset? Would it have made a difference if, instead of saying "Peachtree Inspectors will be requiring..." it said something like "Peachtree Inspectors will be paying very close attention to R08, and will likely ask teams to have..."?
