Here's something that MUST be mentioned at the FIRST Forum this summer:

There is a thread mentioning this: The Inspection Sheet should be available at kickoff. There is no reason it shouldn't be. If they need to update it so be it, they give out the rule book at kickoff, but they change that all season.

----edit-----

Also every year I read the notes from the Forum and all I see year after year is how they want to make the game easy for someone not involved to watch and know what is going on. I think that this years game is great for the teams (maybe a bit hard for some teams), but it is very complex to the lay person and even some team members.

Oh yeah I forgot that dang light and team numbers and thier visability. There should be no question. Maybe they should use a smaller light. Have you ever seen the motorized cart at the store that is used to gather all the shopping carts? They have a small light with an amber filter on them which would be perfect (obviously with blue and red). FIRST could use these and say 100% of the colored filter must be visible from the top of the bot 360 degrees all the time with the exception of something like a moving arm. If this is said up front then teams have to design there bot to accept this.
