I dont think Brandon's post implies that at all. It seems everyone in the thread is agreement that teams who need the time to work on their robot (to pass inspection, etc.) should be allowed to work on their robot during opening ceremonies. The disagreement is who decides that if the work the team is doing is a "need" or just a "want." I agree with Brandon that a volunteer has no place in telling a team that the work they are doing is not needed. Its just silly to put that decision in the hands of volunteers at every event. Brandon is advocating a better rule set so volunteers would not even be making a judgement that could be defied since the rules would be clearly defined.
