In the past, the Official Q&A was the official source of rule clarification. This season the Q&A has shifted to RobotEvents.com where only team contact and EPs (maybe more) can post question. I understand this improves quality of posts. However, this implementation has seen a number of setbacks, in particular not having a regular schedule for answers during seasons - which I believe was supposed to be updated weekly.
Now we have another change, the whole Q&A not available for the current season, and not explanation as to why. This is unfortunate as in the past previous season Q&A served to frame interpretations of rules. Will the Q&A from this season be made available again? and if so, will they frame rule interpretation moving forward?
Or is there some new big change coming to Q&A different in the future.
I am pretty sure I am not the only one perplexed by these unannounced changes.
Growing pains with the first time hitting Worlds with the new Q&A system! Apologies for the confusion. As Mike said, it was supposed to just close for new questions, as it always does about a week out from Worlds. There will be a more public/formal announcement, but questions to be answered during the Driver’s Meeting at Worlds can be emailed to [email protected] once the Q&A is closed.
