In FRC, it is occasionally possible to have a play, strategy, or design that is within the letter of the rules, but not the spirit of the rules. Be interesting to see what would happen if the above were put in play in FRC...

One persons innovative approach is another persons 'violation of the spirit of the rule'.
Sorry, I prefer my rules to be explicit, and not interpreted.
The major items of FIRST are still what they always were.....understand the game, build a reliable quality machine to play it, train you drivers to use it to its full potential. If you do these things, you can win with or without any specific machine feature. - Jim Zondag [more]
