I will agree, I am usually the one who is changing requirements on suppliers - they usually charge me a lot for it. The difference is I can't bill FIRST for any redesign required.

In FIRST changing software is essentially free. Mechanical redesign is not. Also code doesn't weigh anything (At least I think - I'm not much of a code guy)

As a team that destroyed a piece of low bar fabric at Waterford (and paid for it by being disabled the entire match because our arm was stuck in it) I can safely say that I was surprised at how easily this fabric ripped. Unfortunately this may be disastrous for teams that planned on spinning up their shooter before they entered the low bar.

So who is going to suck a low bar flap into their shooter this weekend so we can get another rule change?
