Re: Q&A Forum available at Regional and Championship event

Although even though it says it is a place for posting miscellaneous issues, the forum is locked so you can't post there...

I posted it last week and still haven't seen an answer, so I thought I would post here to get opinions.

My question is about the availability of the Q&A forum at events. And what the procedure will be if something on your robot or in your strategy comes into question and it was answered on the Q&A forum. Do we have to bring the Q&A Forum all printed out? Would this be considered as "legal proof" to argue/discuss the issue?

I just don't want to ask a question, get it clarified by the Q&A forum, then go and design some part which takes that answer into account, only to have it questioned by a judge at the tounament and find out that the Q&A forum doesn't have jurisdiction there or something...

Just curious...
Unless I'm horribly mistaken, the Q&A forum has the full force of the manual. But since the manual says you can't access the internet at events (Section 7), you'll probably have to print off the important parts beforehand. That, or have some good running shoes to get to a nearby Kinkos.
