Re: My case against <G14>

BRAVESaj25bd8: I agree wholeheartedly with your 10:35 post (don't want to quote it just to say this!). However, I have to ask: how does it apply to this conversation? Overcoming obstacles is definitely a positive experience for any team, but the rules should not create arbitrary challenges to a team just because they have done well. I also believe in the value of overcoming a loss, maybe even a big one-something the GDC does not seem to do. And how is it any more graciously professional to win by a little by sandbagging or self-scoring as opposed to showing one's full potential? Yes, I agree that the game and the robot are not the most important things. But that's no excuse for a bad rule, and in my opinion, this rule teaches the wrong lessons to teams, decreases the inherent appeal of the game (which ~is~ important if FIRST is to reach the level of professional sports, always one of Dean's goals) and reduces the learning experience involved.

And the rule, as of now, simply applies to "matches", so I see no reason why that would not include qualifying and elimination.
