This whole year has been weird, and I must say that I'm glad its over.

I agree as well.

The tube should have counted since once the arm broke off it is considered part of the field. I use a 50 question test on rules before a 121 driver can touch joysticks. From the 4 competitions I've seen this year, the rules need to simpler and enforced.
