3)The spec sheets- there's no info on the Globe motors, seat motors, van door motors, or the Fisher Price motors
4)The Suppliers- I know it's not really the fault of FIRST, but the ball incident is just plain stupid. First teams couldn't figure out which was the right one, and then the company ran out of them and replaces them with ones that may alter the construction of the robot (for plows and such)
I don't mean to start a controversy or anything, but there are just my views, not that of any other member of my team, sponsors, ect.

If you don't mean to start a controversy, then don't start one. The job FIRST has done this year is amazing to me. Very few of us really see the amount of planning and work that goes into something even so simple as the rulebook. FIRST worked their butts off for us, and all you can do is complain.
Like John said, I too am amazed at how well this is going... Step back and look at the monumental task FIRST has to do each year... I'm thankful they do it, i don't know about you.
