Due to low transmission rates I usually just read the Digest version of the FRC group. However yesterday when I just happened to look in here I found out about the potential change so I looked it up. The messages refered to were there in all their glory.
HOWEVER they were NOT in the digest that was transmitted in the wee hours this morning.
So Raul, I think you may have to uncrumple that paper yet.
I expect they will go back to the original interpretation of the rules. Hopefully if they do so we will recieve a public apology and announcement. Otherwise there may be some team who radically changes their design and then finds themselves DQ'd if they use it. Just because they didn't notice the "correction by denial". ie "it's not there NOW so it's not official"
We could save some weight by altering our design to take advantage of the rule change, but we won't for several days at least. We have decided to wait and see how things settle out. We'd rather make the parts and not need them than change plans prematurely and get stuck.
Besides our weights guys are saying we may need ballast anyway
