Re: Something FRC GDC could learn from VRC GDC

One of my favorite rules in an engineering competition (this one courtesy of SAE Aero Design) is something to the effect of: "Violations of the spirit of a rule are counted as violations of the rule."

In FRC, it is occasionally possible to have a play, strategy, or design that is within the letter of the rules, but not the spirit of the rules. Be interesting to see what would happen if the above were put in play in FRC...
