You see, this is why I am entirely dissatisfied with the current ruling. At best, the rule allows team that manages to find a brand of velcro that is constructed a certain way (or convince their regional inspector that it is so) to have a wildly different functionality available to them than one that cannot.

At worst, the rule allows velcro to only those teams that can somehow manage to manufacture their own velcro.

I understand the GDC's desire not to provide input on certain mechanisms, but there comes a point where in the interest of fairness they must do so.
