Re: Batteries Carried Into Competitions

Sometimes, I lose all respect for the GDC. Remember when we had to ship 2 batteries in the crate because of a dumb rule, causing many teams to go over the 400 lb limit and costing hundreds of dollars in unnecessary shipping?

This year we have yet another black sheep: Hundreds of exposed leads, hundreds of hours wasted, hundreds of students having to be miserable all so the GDC can be content with their rules? It's a trend, but I don't understand why it has to exist. Does the GDC have an ego problem? Do their stomachs wretch at the phrase "we made a mistake?"

GDC, I respect your work. I love the ideas and consideration that go into making a new game every year. But you are not perfect.
