Why don't you build the canisters into a Vanguard OverBooster?

I have a nasty feeling that the designers' idea for this contest has been twisted out of shape.

Explain your reasoning please? (not that I disagree)

First off, the "must contain System and Technic" clause of the requirements is worded in such a way that it makes a balance of both preferrable. The 75/25 rule isn't balanced at all, and seems slapped on because it's part of the default rule set, which was likely just copypasted into there without a second thought.

Secondly, the whole business about not allowing palm-blasters and the like. Note that "should have hands or other things to grab – pincers, tentacles, fingers, whaddevah." is in the recommendations, not[/i] the requirements. Note that nowhere is it stated that the "built-in armaments" are required either, but also nowhere does it restrict where they may be mounted, only that they're not detachable, i.e. held in a hand. Palm-blasters(REPULSOR BEAMS FETH YEAR) are built into the palm oof the hand and aren't detachable.

And there's a few other things I can't recall off-hand that also seem contradictory to the rules/recommendations as set forth by the designers.

Not really saying anybody's at fault, but I think they ought to re-read the rules before answering questions so as to prevent little things such as I've listed from occurring

MASSIVE EDIT: DISREGARD THE SECOND PARAGRAPH I VACUUM ROOSTERS

Oh, don't be silly.
