Where does it say in the competition manual that Q/A responses are rules? <edit> Do you think the GDC and FIRST actually expect every team to read every Q/A response to be sure they are in compliance with a new rule? </edit>
We're on the 6th revision of the robot manual if "corners must be protected on both sides" was actually a rule the GDC would put it into the competition manual.
Don't forget, Dave Lavery and other GDC members read these forums. They know we're talking about this. They see how many very competent people can argue the issue either way and have decided not to act. Again, If they wanted to make it a rule they would have.
I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. - Andrew Blair [more]
