Re: Team Update #2

It's amazing how First is a microcosm of the real world. And as such it gives the students a chance to play the game of life without the threat of job loss or financial ruin. Team's don't have to like the rules, they don't have to make sense in you specific case. It doesn't matter what you think they should be or how they should be interpreted. The rules are the rules. You must follow Z RULES. You must be in compliance. Compliance is WHAT EVER THE RULE ENFORCERS SAY THEY ARE. PERIOD.
I'm in the construction business and a good part of my life is spent figuring out how to keep my jobs and business in compliance. It's a never ending battle to stay on top of all the rules and the interpretations of them. If I fail to to do it the financial repercussions could bankrupt me. So I would suggest teams take a conservative interpretation of the bumper rules and make your robot fit the bumper restrictions. Once again you don't have to like them. One the worst things that can happen is to show up practice day and not be in compliance. Been there, it's not fun.
