Re: Misleading Mistakes in the Field Tour

So this is a good time for the Day after Kickoff reminder. "Read the rules. The rules and the FIRST Q&A are the defining source. Comments on CD, Reddit, etc along with video's are just other peoples ideas / visions. They are NOT the rules. Please read the rules and use the rules and the field diagrams for all of your strategy creation and robot design / construction. If you have someone that says 'But I read it on CD' or saw it on Youtube needs to back it up with the rules.

This OP post was helpful in showing the differences and showing that they went back to the rules. Yay!!!

Watching the video to get a general sense of the game and lamenting the loss of Dozer (RIP 2015) should be the only thing it's used for.
