I agree that R28 does not specifically address the pre-season building and ideas. Therefore I retract my previous statement of totally removing R28. However R28 does mention "design and fabricate" and I think design should be stricken from that rule because teams should be able to "design" before the build season. Detailed designs are somewhat suspect as mentioned by the manual , but "design" only in the Build season from R28 seems too vague.
