Re: 2005 FRC Team Update 14

With all this being true.. the rule was strengthened only recently to include more ambiguity and confusion amoung teams.. Most assumed as LAVERY has said don't acty like LAWYERS... realize what the rule wants and agree with it..
ok.. so there is a triangle.. you need to touch it? no make it obvious you are within it and grab a tetra.. that's what it means to say.. it is just as safe.. it's not cheating.. and not touching the zone doesn't affect my score/other teams score in any way
We know what the rule is intended to mean... why is it soooo imperative that we touch the zone.. it doesn't promote safety.. or break rules.. or give an unfair advantage.. if you fcan say anything... it would be UNGP to give a penatly for being over the zone and not touching it.. because we know the spirit of the rule...
so.. if somebody can explain why... do so
don't say "first says so that's why" there is a reason to every other rule in that manual.. think about this before you respond and say... just live with it it's what they say

boldest statement of the day.. I don't think Lavery intended for it to be like this -- because it doesn't follow logic -- maybe that will get him to give his 2cents
