Usually I do take this opinion on matters of rules that "Everyone has to follow it, therefore it is inherently a justified rule" However in this case the rule pretty much bogs you down to a single main pick up method of a ground roller. and a single expulsion method of a shooter.

In my mind's eye I see 80% of robots being some form of this:

I hope they change this rule in a quick manner because as an integral rule effecting design if they wait a week or two then there is no point as most designs will be solidified.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!
