Or, do you just want to feel as if you won something? Do you want to be the one that ruins your teams reputation by being "that guy who complained until he got it his way?"

Not at all. I wanted to know if I was way off base in thinking hat these teams were entangled that something should have been done about it. Since the referees did nothing, there clearly were at least some people who disagreed with me and I wanted a reality check. As to the three reasons you list, please!

I don't think this one is bound to become negative, and indeed it hasn't (unless this post is considered negative).

Because those posts are utterly pointless. My grand plan here is to try to make FIRST the best organization it can be, and I think that by getting rules to be more consistent while discouraging battlebots-like play will make FIRST better. This post is a way to test the waters, to see if there is any chance that the rules and their enforcement could be made more consistent. Because so many people agree in the basics (1,2, and 3), I have hope.

People come to CD for all sorts of reasons. Many people come to pat each other on the back and make each other feel good. Many others come here to ask technical questions, find out what other FIRSTlings think, and get guidance or help. I came here this year to point out to others that I think an injustice was carried out on the Gallileo field.
Now, to turn your ine of questioning back at you, why do you come here? Is it to criticize other people's reasons for being here?

No, no, no! Please keep it real! What use are these forums if we ignore problems and fail to address them?
