Message from Chief Inspector

I’m encouraged by the number of posts relating to interpretations of the 2009 FRC robot and game rules. It’s great to see that teams are sifting through the admittedly large amount of documentation for the competition and are paying attention to some of these important details.

HOWEVER, please try to limit the amount of speculation within these forums and instead focus your energy (at least what’s left of it after the late-night build sessions) on posting well-formed questions to the FIRST Q&A forums. It is imperative that we capture these questions and the subsequent decisions from the GDC in the proper forum.

Please reminder that “but I read this interpretation on Chief Delphi” will not suffice during robot inspection or interactions with referees.
