Many have posted that it OK as long as you feel it is and are willing to pay the penalty. Some said that they would never break a FIRST rule. What makes the difference between a FIRST rule and any other? If it is because it's a game then doesn't that make it less important than real life? If you become good at breaking some rules, won't it be easier to break others? Does the fact that you are knowingly willing to break rules have a negative impact on those that we are trying to change?

If you know me then you know that I have a few slight flaws (please no comments). You will also know that I fight hard to get rules changed if I do not believe in them. I do however at some point concede to the "Law Makers" and play under those rules. I have enjoyed the input so far. I may not agree but that is OK too. That is one of the great things about FIRSTers and CDers. We can discuss, debate and still remain friends.
