I had someone last year tell me straight up that they enforce the rules not the Q&A.

It is still your call on how you handle the situation.
That's what I thought at first too, but.:

Spells it out pretty well right there.

So, the Q&A is not applicable in this case from what you are saying?? Why is there a Q&A system in place if it's not going to be enforced?

Seems like a real waste of time in that case.

Btw, <R16> is as follows - The rule that pretty much is the basis f the 6 weeks time limit:

Quote:

<R16> During the Build Season: During the period between the Kick-off and robot shipment deadline, teams are to design and fabricate all the components and mechanisms required to complete their robot. They are encouraged to use all the materials, sources and resources available to them that are in compliance with the rules of the 2006 FIRST Robotics Competition. As the robot shipment deadline approaches, all work on the robot must cease and the robot must be placed in a “hands-off” condition. The entire robot (including all FABRICATED ITEMS intended for use during the competition in alternative configurations of the robot)must be crated and out of team hands by the robot shipment deadline.



I don't know man.. I'm just glad we found the right material today.
