This was really the point I was getting at. I know we frequently try to do things in a way thats going to provide the least potential for damage to our robot, and having other teams hang off us just seems like asking for trouble.

This would basically waste an entire week of the build season for some teams, if they realized that new point values would make a completely different robot more advantageous. This would cause a massive uproar in the FRC community - "Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!" - which is the last thing FIRST wants right now.

I tend to agree. GDC is VERY unlikely to change things like this now, lest they unleash the wrath of 1500 teams who've been designing for a week.
