Re: Team Update #1

First off,

The GDC is trying to be proactive with these rules changes (something that I very much encourage ... considering last year). They are trying to create a game with a level playing field (of sorts).

My only disappointment with this update is that the mini-bot isn't allowed stored energy until deployment. I would have preferred 'The minibot may have no stored energy (other than the battery) before the start of the match'. JMHO

I will also state that complaining about the changes is a waste of time and energy. The required specifications has changed, but it's early in the design process, so instead of complaining about the changes, lets just get to work on creating the 'best' solutions.
