Update #19

Team Update #19 has been released.

http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Rob...pdate%2019.pdf

It makes a major change to the game, just like Update #17 did. What it is, I'll let you read--it's that major.

This might be the update that kills 469's game-breaker bot. Good for the GDC.

Doesn't the GDC know when to stop? All we ask for is consistency with a dose of reality!

If you look at it from the right point of view, this update is actually remarkably consistent with the previous one.

Re: Update #19

FIRST creates experiences that mirror real life experiences.

Update #17 provided us with a similar amount of information one might get from sitting in a typical corporate meeting.

Update #19 has now taken us a step further to provide us with the same type information we might get from reading and understanding a typical company's Mission Statement.

Re: Update #19

Hey, my friends are spreading the rumor that the update has reinstated <G46> as a double penalty, raised elevation to 3 and suspension to 5. Anyone want to join in?

Its an idiot trap, but I have someone talking to me on gmail right now who is falling for it
