I think this is in the running for "boneheaded ruling of the year" by the GDC, and may even eclipse last year's "lawyering of the bumper rules" in ridiculousness. Have they ever looked at how some teams carry around and practically abuse their driver station boards? And they expect the wires to all stay in place by nothing more than the friction of a breadboard hole?

From Webster:
breadboard (transitive verb)
Main Entry: breadboard
Function: transitive verb
Date: 1956
: to make an experimental arrangement of (as an electronic circuit or a mechanical system) to test feasibility

(Emphasis is mine)

I wonder if Andy will now refund the money I just paid for this little gem?
