Re: Team Update 14 (2016)
Can we just get rid of bag day and withholding allowances already? Who does it really stop anyway? Anyone who wants to be competitive (with some rare exceptions) just builds another robot. Rebuilds from the drive base up are not unusual even with just 30 pounds. Teams now plan their entire seasons around gradually upgrading and rebuilding their robots over the course of multiple events. No matter what insane patchwork of rules the GDC writes, any team that wants to win the world championship is going to squeeze every last drop out of the rules to do as much as they can as long as they can. Let's be done with this nonsense, so we can save teams across the world thousands of dollars each and make all of FRC more competitive. Aren't we all sick of this?
