The rules are availible to all, and there is no reason why teams cannot follow them.

well there is a reason, thats what this thread is all about
there have been issues.
words dont have meaning, people have meaning - words are only an attempt to communicate
so its very easy for 800 teams to read the rules, and honestly believe different things
whats more, to some people the rules will be clear (they will infer the motive behind the rule) and others will question it - might even ask FIRST questions
Its easy to see how we end up with machines in the Pits that fail inspection
the question then is, what do we do about it?
Is the rule that was broken there for safety? to prevent a team from having an unfair advantage? to ensure good design practice? to make it easier for a ref to identify a robot on the field? It quickly becomes subjective.
which takes us back to page one of this thread :c)
