Re: Why the rules have obvious problems

Welcome to FIRST, my friend. It only gets better...

FYI, no need to duplicate your posts in CD:

I'll summarize my response: Fine-tuning the rules after they're released is just part of the process of improving the game before the competitions begin. There isn't an expectation of perfection by FIRST teams (though I'm sure the GDC has that as a goal). We work together in reviewing, dissecting, analyzing and critiquing the rules and scenarios to ultimately make the game experience better for the participants.
