New Competition Rules

[Swan217]

What does everyone think of the new competition rules in Sec 10 of the manual?

1) FIRST wants everyone (especially the mascots) to stay hydrated, but you can't bring your own water, forcing everyone to buy bottled water at the concession stands?

2) No MOEsticks, shakers, banging on things, rattles, or other noisemakers of any kind?

3) No drum corps, no Speaker-enhanced carts, and no air horns (which were already illegal).

4) Teams may not hand out candy to other teams (like Fireballs, Chicklets, gummies, or Peeps)?

5) No banners except for at your Pit station?

6) No machining except at the specified machining location, which MAY OR MAY NOT be located at the competition?

7) No saving seats? (Teams may potentially not be able to sit together)

8) No fundraising at the competitions?
