I consider a number of rules that FIRST has to be unnecessary or even silly. And when we've questioned them to FIRST, we've been told that's the way it is. One case in point, using double sided tape to fasten the robot numbers and logos on the polycarbonate sides. Why using adhesive Velcro is "superior" I have no idea but we do it to avoid having to argue with the inspectors. Yet every year I see robots using tape to hold on their numbers or even making their numbers out of tape. So next year I should just ignore the rule and if anyone calls me on it tell them they're being silly?
