Just as an addendum, the inspector was the same as at the first event we attended 4 weeks ago. Well after Update 6 and 7 came out. Mike's complaint isn't with the ruling, it isn't even with the fact that the inspector didn't call us in the first event. It is with the fact that the interpretation changed sometime since then and no one informed us. (To the best of our knowledge, and yes, I do read all Emails and Updates) Had we been informed that there may be problems with our bumpers and the updated interpretation been explained we would have had a plan in place (or already completed) to fix the issue. As it is they now look like utter crap and time was wasted trying to figure out how to do it. Time we could have been practicing or adding new features.

The issue is not with the rule, the change of interpretation, the inspector, or FIRST. Just with the lack of warning. FIRST has been very good this year about letting us know things are changing. I'd love to see this continue and improve.
