I see your point here for sure, and this little "twist" was certainly enough to get my attention today, but I will also say this as someone who spent three years configuring a Q&A and answering questions for the intermediate program. Everyone I worked with on that GDC made at least one mistake or took a misstep at least once a year in the Q&A, myself included. One time I answered a question solo that I really, honestly thought was pretty benign and two hours later my inbox started filling up with superlatives. I cannot imagine what this exhausting effort must be like in FRC where the volume of questions is massive compared to what I experienced in the other program.
In no way did I find today's post on batteries to be a "good" one, but there is a team update coming out Tuesday and I'm willing to wait for that to see what transpires. After I got done bemoaning this today with my team, we decided we'd pack everything for our week one regional as "normal" with all battery cables connected and, if Tues. team update doesn't clarify or change things, we'll pull the cables off in our hotel Wed. evening.
Yes, I'd prefer this system to get everything right the first time, but I'm also willing to be realistic about it all - even when it makes me grumpy.
