Until that happens I'll stand by my comments about this thread generally containing an over-emphasis on the robots, and on winning the on-the-field competition.
B) I'll repeat my general assertion that I don't think Dean, Woodie, and many others would agree with sentiments such as characterizing the rule as "arbitrary, unnecessary", and "wasteful". |
