I agree with icdumbpeeps305, the GDC has been using the buzzword of 'intent' far too often this year. They want us to be creative, and yet, when we become creative with the interpretation (note: creative interpretation != bending the rules), they accuse us of "lawyering" the rules.

The GDC should know best of all of us (note: I've only been involved since 2003) that FIRST isn't about the game. Its not about how they intended to see the game played. Its about how teams can design and implement radical solutions to the daunting tasks laid out by the GDC.

I say, LET 1519 PLAY! I would be happy to lose a match to such a well designed MULTI-MECHANISM ROBOT. Sadly, its already too late, according to TIMS, BAE was their only FIRST sanctioned event this year. At least they've earned themselves notoriety as one of few teams who've instigated rule changes.
