Re: Look at the Big Picture

I have pretty much sat back & just listened/read the gripes all season. Most of the time I would just think to myself, if they read the rules more carefully or checked the FIRST forums they would realize their design is not legal. The problem is many teams took their questions here, to the CD community. I have also not felt the need to post because I have no problems with ANY of the rules.

I think this is where our big deal is made. People that have problems bring them here & make their voices heard, over & over again. People that don’t have a problem don’t need to speak up. If we don’t speak up the people that complain think everybody feels the same as them because that is all they read/hear. I think it was about time some of us stood up & said that we don’t have a problem with the rules. I applaud you for staring this thread to stand up and say that the GDC is doing a fine job.

After a little digestion, I don’t think every rule makes complete sense but I can live with all of them. Let’s take the effort we are putting into pointing out the problems & find a way to make our collective regional competitions the best they can be.
