A modest proposal...

[Jordan A.]

I said unsure simply because you make it a judgement call.

And while judgment calls can work they are so easily protested.

"Thats the second time that team broke their gripper, its a poorly designed part" even though it might be for actual extenuating circumstancees.

I have been very supportive of the FRCtech staff, and dont have a problem with what their doing. But it hasnt been unheard of for a ruling to be changed a little latter. Say a team breaks something, their excuse is considered not valid, say a week later another team does almost the same thing but their excuse is considered ok. Indescrepencies could be HORIBLY unfair with something like this.

I say first picks something and sticks by it. I dont like the no repair rule but at least its equaly fair to all teams and leaves little room for interpretation.

Sorry, just my opinion.
