This puts us back to the way we were in prior to last year. Last year they tried to save us from ourselves by not allowing programming outside of the FIRST competitions (and perhaps the fix it windows, I can't recall).

It was a good effort, but it didn't seem workable. I am glad that that they returned to the old rule.

But... ...we often ended up killing ourselves after shipping to get the code right. It is easy to do because everyone agreed we HAD to make time to fix a broken weld or we wouldn't meet our ship date :-0

We could never muster the same courageous effort to fix the code because we could always fix the code after the ship date.

FIRST tried to save us last year. We sort of didn't let them. So we go the old rule back. We've go no one to blame but ourselves (and that welder who took so long fixing the arm ;-)
