You are most correct when you think that there will be a old time hangin' party at the end.

As for the Chief 47 We go under bar, go over ramp, we collect well and can remove balls fast from the opponents side.

If we are parked on the ramp no team can get on or hang.

This description I predict will fit many teams this year.

My only negative comment is with the rule about shipping at the end of the day. Rookie teams will suffer the most. They need the time to physically have the machine to repair and rework what is not working as they designed. This I feel this will discourage the teams from coming back next year.

We all know how our rookie year was. This rule will decrease amount of teams next year. It will not accomplish what FIRST wanted. It will only spread the gap between experienced teams and rookies. NOT what FIRST wants.
