I know that there is very strong objection to this policy here, but is anyone telling FIRST? For all we know, they think we're happily complying with their demands. What should we do to make FIRST aware of our discontent and get this policy changed or revoked?
Gabriel:

We've contacted FIRST...and it appears that this is going to be a hard and fast requirement for the short term. I would imagine that the more loudly we rats squeak, the more like this will get resolved one way or another.

My advice....if you have a problem with this, let your team leader know your concerns and the impacts. We've already let our team leader know that we will significantly reduce our participation in the effort based on this additional requirement. For the past three years, the mentors I represent have been up to their elbows in the robot every day for six weeks. I don't see that happening this year unless a number of heads come out of their fourth "point of contact." (Any former paratroopers besides me listening?)

See you on the high ground!

Jim
