You're exactly right Katie.

Gope:
FIRST didn't throw out the tape measure rule. There was no tape measure rule. There was an "entanglement" rule, which was extremely difficult to police/interpret because a normal tape measure (if deployed properly and timely) can run absolutely no risk of entanglement. It's a point of view issue. Just like the issue of bumpers in the 2000 competition. So, in escence, FIRST did not change any rules last year after the first week of Regionals. I personally was under the assumtion that any loose wire was an "entanglement risk," but in hindsight I see that tape measure / mouse 'bot advocates had a decent arguement.

My feelings are similar to David's. Petitions like this won't work during the season, just save it until the Team Forum. If you still don't like the rules, you're s.o.l. for a few months.
