Re: fundamental flaw with GDC?
In one way or another, what you're already asking for, exists. While some of it may not be "formal" much of what you're asking for exists. Between FIRST staff members involved and the volunteer GDC - many of whom are a part of or have been a part of FRC teams - games get scrutinized, reviewed, etc. Does that always result in what we want as individuals - no way. Is it a perfect system? - nope. Is it an incredibly difficult and multi-faceted task? You betcha!

Please be careful about what you may think a GDC can/cannot influence. It's not always very cut and dried as to what a GDC can control as opposed to what the FIRST organization, or more specifically in this case, the FRC program decides upon/controls. This year, for instance, control system issues are not necessarily game/GDC issues at all.

On a side note, I had the opportunity to serve on the "old" F(V)TC GDC with both JVN and Karthik - how cool, indeed!
