Re: Withholding limits and GP

I'm getting the feeling we are going to either see a bunch of disqualified teams, or a bunch of "boxes of parts" on the field. This is complete insanity. Normally I don't really get frustrated with the GDC but this is just terrible, I wish they would explain their reasoning instead of changing everything 20 times and parroting back things that we have already read.

Penfield has a bunch of robot crates that have been sitting there since Sunday afternoon, thank goodness all those teams decided to SHIP their robots... had they followed the rules that were in place on Sunday they might have been in trouble!!

Im now thinking that after we ship they will tell us that we arent allowed to bring mechanisms, even though mechanisms are fabricated items... we will have to disassemble and reassemble them at the regional... anyone smell battery cables????
