I saw in one quote that aluminum, rivets & a host of other basic supplies are available, just like an FRC robot. Let's stop the bickering & see it as a fantastic challenge to overcome.
1> It's FTC not VEX
2> Quotes here are not official. Look at the rules for what is available/allowable on the minibot.

People are venting right now because the GDC has put constraints where there wasn't any before. I, too, am a bit disapointed at the changes but we'll get through this and be competitive.

Complaining is just a waste of time and energy. IMHO
