Re: Update 15

I think the GDC has done a very good job of explaining the situation and applying a solution which is fair an equitable to all teams.

They should be applauded for their action, not because of the result but by making a timely decision based on an evaluation of what would be best for FIRST.

When the question about batteries was posted in QA they had no choice but to answer the way they did. Rules ARE Rules.


I especially appreciated the comments regarding our signatures indicating that we are playing within the rules. This is the kind of professionalism that FIRST is about. Sure anyone can cheat ..... there are always ways to do that....
no matter what the checks against it are....

Thank you GDC for recognizing, in writing, that we are the ultimate judges of our own compliance with the rules.

thank you

Now let's play Lunacy and have some fun....
