Go to Post Namaste. Maybe we all one day will spend our energy trying to raise our own level to match that of the competition rather than trying to tear others down. - Rich Kressly [more]

What they mean, yes, I agree. But it's not what they say. If a TEAM participates (i.e., humans show up) and the robot does not, under the current writing of the rules, all three teams get a red card. All it takes is for the human player to show up, and there are three red cards, under the written rules.

It's an easy fix, too: Replace "TEAM" with "TEAM's ROBOT" the first two times it appears in that rule. Boom, the team can show up and participate without the robot, and no red cards are issued. (Though the alliance is still at a disadvantage.) Also, due to the change back to W-L-T rankings, it shouldn't be as big of an issue as this last year.
