In my opinion this rule given by FIRST is totally fair. However one of the things i liked about the past competitions was the fact that if you had a bad outing at a competition due to some small design problem that could be fixed in 3 days you could still have a chance at taking a future competition. It gave a few teams (including my own a few years) hope. Just imagine going from placing 20 out of 40 teams in one competition then finishing in 18 out of 207 teams in the next, all because we could change one fairly small component on our machine. With the new rules its just a one shot chance, if you got the goods you will be able to do well in all, if ya don't...forget about it, you need to leave your bot alone. The only thing im curious about now is what the rules will be on bringing spare parts to the competition.
Good Luck to all,
Andy Grady, DWC/Alvirne
