It should be changed... but, in the mean time...

I agree that this rule is an oversight and should be changed. I especially like Chris Hibner's green box comprimise.

But...

In the mean time, we better all make spare parts now. If you were planning on making enough parts for a second robot for driving practice, maybe those parts should be shipped with your competition robot. We have a couple of weeks before we need to make that decision, but I can see many teams opening up their crates at a Regional with parts for two robots.

And...

This leads us to a few more problems:

Crates are gonna be heavier this year. Oh well.

Teams will be making parts in haste in their pits (or traveling trailers), using heavier machinery than usual. This is not good, since safety may be jeapordized. Actually, this could be the trump card in all of this. If this logic is correct, we can state that this new ruling will make the pit environment more unsafe. This fact may be a deciding factor with encouraging FIRST to let us make repair parts until the next Tuesday.
