So I say to the GDC: Kudos for <G14>, thank you for the challenge, thank you for sticking with it in the face of severe backlash, and thanks for not doing it again next year.

I'm missing the logic. Because people hated it it couldn't possibly be a penalty? It's a good rule because people hated it? And you are certainly correct that it pushed people out of their comfort zones. FIRST isn't all about the robots, but what happens on the field is still a competition. Being worried about doing too well in a competition is absolutely ridiculous. All teams should always put their %100 into a match, and shouldn't be penalized for doing so. Being penalized for having a good robot is out of my comfort zone.
