With all due respect toward 190 and their design, talking directly with FIRST is not an official means of rule clarification. What anyone at FIRST says has about the game has no weight unless it is in the Game Manual, Q&A, or official update.
For those wondering, I'm pretty sure 190 is not finished competing. They are one of the original teams, so they always have a ticket to nationals. They also attend one or more off-season competitions.
