I suggest the game development folks get someone like a technical documentation writer, a physics or math text editor, or a contract lawyer on the rules final editing team. Careful review of the rules by someone with the right skills could cut down on rulings and Q&A answers, like the one here, that seem to say "do what we meant, not what we said." The same step would benefit FTC and FLL too.

And in cases where teams find a way, under an un-strained reading of the rules, to do something different than what was intended, it would be preferable to acknowledge the gap between the rules and the intent, and fill the gap, rather than to support the intended meaning by using strained interpretations as if they were plain.
