FIRST is an organization for us to SHINE. <G14> is little more than an attack on great teams, it is saying that if you are an elite team against a team that can barely move you are to be penalized for success. Apparently FIRST doesn't want teams to be performing at their best.

And you can do a lot of pretty awesome stuff using nothing more than some hand tools.
I agree with you about <G14>. I was wondering if anyone else noticed the correlation between it and Kamen's speech. Both seem/seemed to have very subtle socialist overtones....
I can easily see discussion of this rule turning into political debate as the season progresses
