Does your team read the Q&A?
If you said yes, apparently you're in the minority. Looking through the number of views per Q&A thread, not many people are reading. The average number of views on a thread which has been posted for a month, is a mere 300! Now, when you factor in multiple views from certain teams (at least 6 people on 1114 check the Q&A regularly), and all the inspectors and refs getting ready for their events, I'd say at most 15% of the teams are reading the Q&A.
With events only one night away, I really recommend that you sit down and read through these questions and responses. Each year I see multiple teams fail inspection for misinterpreting rules, that were clarified in the Q&A. Don't let this be you! Practice time is so crucial, but a rare commodity. Don't waste by having to fix a problem that could have been prevented with just a little bit of reading.
Good luck to everyone competing this weekend.

One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?"
Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. - GaryVoshol [more]
