They were in accordance with the rules before they shared their design online. That is the reason I wouldn't share my design because I do not want FIRST inventing a rule against what I worked six weeks on.....I don't know if anything would have been better, but I know it is motivation enough not to share my design early.

this is interesting - I had not heard about this - can someone explain what happened in more detail please?
FIRST always changes the rules during the six week build period. Why? because FIRST is emulating what its like to be an engineer, and thats what happens on real engineeing projects - you get halfway done and the customer says "thats not what I wanted" or "Ive changed my mind"
is it possible the rule change was a co-incidence with their design being published?
anyone know the rest of the story?
