Lessons learned 2005: The negative

[Kevin Sevcik]

Briefly about penalties. Teams didn't have 4 months to figure out what would and wouldn't be penalized. The penalties were changing up until the Driver's Meeting on Thursday where it was announced that a robot could, in fact, sit in a loading zone and score on the nearby goal with utter impugnity. Contrary to the original statement in the rules that loading zones aren't meant to be safety areas to protect a team while they were doing things besides loading a tetra.

Kudos to Kim for #6, though. That's a great idea.

Also, growl on people still complaining about Houston. It wasn't Houston's fault and I really wish you'd stop it already.
