A good definition of fair is not "both sides can do it therefore it is fair."
Maybe this is a big kid version of FLL to you but that doesn't mean that is what it is for everyone. A lot of people gain a lot of different things from First. In this years game not so much but in future games the technicalities that arise from making field modifications are too complicated to deal with. This argument that states you could leave a ramp on your side of the field with no connection to the robot I could then use and go. "Well I'm going to go leave a wall on the opposite side of the field in front of the tote chutes because passive structures are now allowed to be introduced into the game"
Now whats the call?
Can it be interacted with by the opposing side cause its not part of the field or part of a robot?
More importantly is this fair?
At this point in time you aren't playing the game you are just playing the rules.

So I got my jacket back, but it turns out the "W" in WPI doesn't stand for that steak sauce I can't pronounce.
Play is for kids this is serious...
