Re: fundamental flaw with GDC?

I completely agree with this statement by Jane and I'm sure many of you often have the same gripes with this. As Dave pointed out, there are so many different factors involved with designing, planning, and implementing the game they need to have a GAC built into the GDC. And really, not every customer is going to be satisfied everyone the first weekend in January because the game changes every year. Year to year, there are different factors and outside influences because the resources change and because ALMOST everything is completely rewritten. We're all pretty much use to the way baseball, football, and hockey are played because the rules and resources of those games have been pretty much the same since we've known them. The FIRST community is lucky to have the experience of a GAC built into the GDC so that we can have a new game every year and keep the challenges coming.

Hah! This is another good one Cory. It's great having the human element in FRC games because there's always a human element in technology and it adds excitement to the game. We can't always interact with machines through a joystick or game pad!
