Re: [FTC]: Possession of Rolling Goal Question

Slightly off topic:

I happened to see that in FLL this year, the official Q&A was replaced with a short list of "official rulings". I am not sure how often the list was edited, but as of a few weeks ago it was short and relatively easy to read and understand in comparison to the typical official Q&A.

I hope this will become the practice in FTC also.

As it is now, by late in the season, you have to read the entire Game Manual, then read the entire official forum (maybe a couple hundred official forum posts), then study the and interpret the relationships between the various statements in order to arrive at a good understanding of the game. Makes it tough to actually "know the rules" as Ken urges in his recent blog post http://firsttechchallenge.blogspot.c...ing-rules.html.

A short repeatedly updated list of official rulings, with version numbering and dating for each update, would be really nice.
