Yes it is. The distance and viewing angles are most definately a challange to the drive team.

I believe TubaMorg stated he does not believe in 'Blindly' following the GDCs rules.
And professional engineers look for how to overcome an obstacle (Which I view <G22> as).

Have you ever considered having your scout team tell you that your alliance partner 'tends to break' in a way that causes penalties??? Have you ever considered helping them fix what breaks so that they won't break when you are out on the field.
All of your arguments against <G22> are nothing more than challanges that can be overcome ... if you put forth the effort. Taking mulligans is easy, shooting from the deep rough is difficult. FIRST is about overcoming difficult.
Again Just my $.02
