I know that Soukup responded to this comment, and his sentiments are pretty close to my own, but I want to add one thing:
Of course everyone has the right to give their opinion here, but they also have the responsibility to express their opinion as exactly that, their opinion. When an opinion (on either side of any issue) is expressed as a fact rather than an opinion, I think that it is much more likely that argument rather than discussion will ensue.
As far as I know, the truth is that we do not know exactly how FIRST is going to handle some of the problems that will crop up this year becasue of the rule changes, and we do not know how teams will respond in competition when faced with the added pressure of having to qualify for Nationals. This is disconcerting, but we have to deal with it. Maybe if we all concentrate a bit more on what is fact and what is opinion, we can do that with a little bit less discord than we have seen so far.
