Re: Team Update #18
Wow, this is getting rather heated. While I disagree with the changing of rules after half the game is over, I believe FIRST does have a good point in making this rule. Chew on this:
Your drive train is not operational on one match, so you stack ontop of another dead bot. The bottom bot's team forgot to remove autonomous mode, and your multi-thousand dollar investment crashes to the ground in a blaze of flying extrusion and sparks.
First does not want that to happen, so they put a rule up prohibiting the action that might destroy your bot. They made the right call but at the wrong time.
