In terms of the wording of the rules, it was cut and dry. Whichever GDC saw it on the Q&A first likely answered it. Then they took it back to the rest of the GDC to debate and ensure the GDC agreed upon changing it.

A single GDC member can't create a team update by themselves. A single GDC member can answer Q&A.

Again I'm gonna disagree with you. The battery has never been included in the weight of the robot so why should it be included in the weight of the withholding allowance? It's not so cut and dried as you say.

Also whomever on the GDC that answered this question should have known how controversial the answer would be and should have consulted with other members before answering.
