Normally, I would agree with you, but FIRST very obviously knew that the changes changed the entire scoring system. Why else would they put a disclaimer on there saying "This bullet is worth reading several times as there are some subtle and very interesting results and consequences?"

As for the whole petition thing: grow up. Life's not fair nor is it within your control. Deal with it. Personally, I think these rules simplify things and make life a whole lot easier. Regardless, I'll back FIRST in anything they choose to do. If you don't like the rules FIRST made, go build a Battle Bot. After all, rules don't get much simpler than "last robot standing wins".
