Well, we are the officials, but we still have to go with technicalities. I only knew these rules because we had to nitpick this year to ensure we were following guidelines in order to use pre-season prototyped ideas for the drive train for our end-result bot. Everything has to be re-created if you did anything custom pre-season. While we all want to see bluateam succeed, they have several other avenues to succeed other than a left-turning robot.

Honestly, Bluateam could find a contingency wheel for now and figure out their ProE licensing issues. This would allow their wonderful KABOOM device to still go Kaboom Kaboom (Penguin Christmas Caper anyone?) while they fixed their other issues. Usually wheels are not so close to everything else that they require extensive integration for spacing and you can always use the Skyway wheels with some ridiculous manipulation for whatever temporary setup.

There are always 2 ways to solve a problem; just because one refuses to figure the second solution out when the first solution has a problem doesn't mean he/she gets to bend the rules.
