<R71> Unaltered software modules developed during prior competitions may not be directly re-used. Just as designs for hardware COMPONENTS may be reused from one year to the next, software algorithms and designs may be reused. However, the specific lines of code must be customized for each robot each year.

Wow, this is a change. It seems pretty clear. But I am sure it will get murky by the time we are done.
It seems to require retyping of last year's code to read encoder pulses or to navigate using the encoders or whatever.
Could changing variable names count as altering?
I understand some of the concerns the rule is trying to address but I don't know how this rule will work out in practice.
What do others think?
WAIT DON'T ANSWER YET!
