Doesn't make much sense to me. Seems your time would be better spend figuring out how to comply with the requirements and not bashing them.

Rules don't become not stupid just because we have to follow them. Of course everyone's going to follow and accept the rules, and most if not all of the people complaining have made their robots compliant. I don't see why we have no right to complain over something that was legal week 3 and then illegal week 4.
If no one ever complains, how would anyone ever know anyone had a problem with any rule? The rule IS stupid and hasty, even though we do have to follow them. Yeah, in the real engineering world, complaining that your boss or client gave you a requirement isn't a good idea, but I'd rather not jade my teammates into the philosophy that there's no use expressing an opinion on anything. Just yet.
