Re: Team Update #5 Posted

Tristan,

We all are human beings. Our grammar (including yours at times I'm sure) is not always perfect, nor are we. This is why FIRST has established a means for clarification for the 10 section manual that they published: FIRST Q & A. No, the replies to it are not officially in the manual, but they are official clarification on any confusion, and they are from the GDC, thus making them valid.

As to your frustrations with the descrepancy between what the rule says and what it means, these men are engineers, not lawyers. A lawyer would spend months of just working on this to get the technicalities correct. These men spend their volunteer free time. I, for one, know that I spend my free time on catching up on Grey's Anatomy and I am grateful to them for contributing theirs to help me.

Yes Tristan, it is frustrating when the things that we think should be clear are not. But there is an established mean for fixing the issue in place here. Please use it. And please stop the lawyer-like arguments. From what I've read, the last page or so has been arguing that is doing nothing but getting people confused. And that just doesn't benefit anyone.

FIRST is something we do for fun, because we love it. My team has had to remind me of that lately. It should be fun, and we shouldn't torture ourselves over tidbits like words. We're halfway through, so please, everyone (readers and posters) just take a breath and remember why you go to robotics every day.
