A team posts pictures of their very nice looking robot (by the way) and show their proud sponsors and the first three posts are by people seemingly so impressed with their complete knowledge of every rule that they have to show it off by posting immediately how some part of their robot is illegal...

As PC would say... "Really? Really!?"

Great looking robot guys and I hope I get to see it at champs... Nice job and your team should be proud!

Your statement offends me quite a bit. I phrased my post with "I think..." and credited someone else with pointing out the particular rule. I was in no way trying to 'show off' any 'complete knowledge of every rule.' I was just trying to alert 61 to a potential rules violation that could cost them time, energy, frustration, and maybe a practice match or two at a regional. If they know about it ahead of time they will be able to remake their great-looking bumpers with legal numbering instead of hacking something together on Thursday morning at GSR.

Which situation would you rather be in?
