Re: Crab Steering on Regolith

I don't know, so here's my $0.02.

In years past, and I can already see it this year, people read too much into, and "lawyer" the rules. The rules are all there for a reason, and for the most part, the intent of each rule should be more or less obvious. The Q&A typically responds in line with the INTENT of the rule, and thusly, thats the basis we should be going on.

To me, the INTENT of <R06> is to prevent teams from utilizing the spokes of the wheel as a traction surface. It is NOT (IMO) intended to stop teams from creatively USING these wheels, in, for instance, a big omniwheel made with these as the rollers, or other creative uses. My interpretation is that the "normal" way to use a wheel is with the tread in contact with the floor. However, I'm by no means on the GDC, and thats for the Q&A to make the final call.

The fact that an omniwheel with these as the rollers would be enormous is somewhat irrelevant to the point.
