After spending a day with team 190 in 2006 during our BAE Systems trip, team 1138 has grown a profound respect for 190 and their classic outside of the box thinking. While I won't comment on the legality situation since it's pretty clear that it's illegal (which I agreed with the whole time) now that the GDC has spoken about G22, I think the negativity towards 190 and the "lawyering" accusations are simply unfounded.
