Re: [moderated] Spare Parts Rule for 2005

Much as I like being limited to 6 weeks for personal and family reasons, I have always found many of FIRSTs rules governing when and how you can work on your robot are totally bizarre. Think about...In what other sport or competition involving machines are you ever disallowed from servicing, maintianing, improving or practicing with your machine. I my life I have been invovled with racing car, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and other robot challanges. In no other league I have ever seen do they take away your machine and deny you the right to make it better if you can.
To me the question is and has always been: What would really change if we could do whatever, whenever we want so long as the machine on the field is legan and safe?
