And come kickoff, if the rules are silent or ambiguous on this point, I hope some pertinent questions will appear early on FIRST Q&A. The responsibility for getting FIRST to clarify the rule rests with teams who plan to use the idea, and that means
before bringing the device in question to an event. Please don't leave this to be covered by a team update that appears after the first week or two of regionals are over. It is in everyone's interest to have the same interpretations of rules at all 2006 events.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
