I think the difficulty in banning velcro is that it is literally "hook and loops." How do you ban small hooks and loops without banning big ones?

You are right though Eric, I was mis-remembering the 2011 rule change as being TU2, and they usually do hit the really obvious stuff with TU1. 6v0 is one of the most interesting things that happened in FIRST but at the Week 1 regional I attended (FLR) no one really did it. It would have been interesting to see if it would become taboo as the season went on without a rule change or become the dominant gameplay method. The Q & A this year seems more open to answering specific questions. A few years ago I could imagine them obnoxiously punting all velcro-based questions to LRIs with "we do not rule on specific designs" but because they have been delaying the answer to Q6 this year it seems likely it will get a real answer.
