Yes in 2002 we decided against a mini-bot to stay within the entanglement rules. When we arrived at competition, every team with a mini-bot ruled the field.
If they let teams slide by on this cylinder issue, it would be extremely unfair to the teams that are currently racking their brains.
If FIRST is going to change the rule they should do now or make a statement that this rule will be strictly enforced. I know you can't make this statement for every rule in the manual, but this one is a make or break decision for teams.
