Team C regards any change in the rules as a new opportunity. Since their design is simple, basic and strong, the will have no trouble adapting to the new rule or chosing to ignore it. Also they won't sit around crying about 'wasted time' and realize in the real world the rules change all the
the time and the word "FAIR" just isn't in the
dictionary.

Sorry to come on strong - but I think this forum is being run by lawyers and not engineers. Go cut some metal.
