I often tell new comers that if you just read the rules and updates, you would THINK that FIRST is played by a bunch of lawyers, but that it is not.
This is an on your honor type deal.
Has anyone ever audited your Bill of Materials?
Has anyone ever inspected every material used in the deepest darkest recesses of your machine?
Other than size, weight, wiring and wheels, FIRST monitors very little.
For the most part, I have been very pleased with the integrity of the FIRST community.
The bottom line for me is that enforcement of the rules is not really an issue.
If FIRST makes a clear ruling on what changes are allowed and when, I think that teams will stick by that rule.
Don't let's become lawyers.
Joe J.
