Re: [FTC]: Rev 6 of Game Manual Changes Rules on Plastic and Aluminum Sheets

Oh wow Chuck, I see what you mean. Those rules didn't say 1 sheet when I read them in October, and in November I missed the fact that some of the Q&A's state/imply 1 sheet. Post #3's adjectives imply 1 sheet, but even I missed that since later posts explicitly state multiple sheets.

Yet the update will overrule the Q&A posts that predate it. Since the update is official and very specifically states 1 sheet, (and the only post-update forum reply states 1 sheet as well) inspectors shouldn't accept robots that cut from more than 1 sheet of the same material. We have 1 robot affected out of 4, though I think that's more about luck of the draw during the design iterations than anything. The affected robot may have to redo their helix shell depending on how high it is (I can't remember if it's 13" or 10" after all of the redesigns).

Posts that say 1:
Here, though it says "a sheet" instead of "one sheet" ... additionally, it is pre-update
Here (post-update according to the revision history of the update, but I don't know that the update was published on that date....)

And there are posts that say multiple, yet they're before the update.

1 sheet it is aklego -- don't assume you can bend the rules just because previous wording was confusing. The update was put in before the first competitions in early December, so no one is "grandfathered" in.
