What makes you think they haven't. If they did, what makes you think FIRST will listen?

Because it is their job and responsibility. A 'spec' is not a rule, it is the specifics of how something should work, hence the name 'spec.' A rule or ruling is what update 18 is and I do not consider "Oh well trigger it or else it does not count" as adapting to it.

A spec would be easier and much more efficient since teams have unlimited access to the minibot.
