I think a succinct way to say this would be: In FIRST, there really isn't such a thing as precedent.

I'm sure lots has changed, but FIRST has said that their game design process has gotten longer (i.e. more details decided earlier), so you'd expect vendors - especially a trusted vendor like AM - to have more information earlier on. I guess I'd say that with the focus on FIRST starting game design earlier and trying to get them locked in, it's disappointing that a game element as important as scoring platforms was added as late as October.
