Can anyone tell me...do we have to send in our control system with the rest of the robot?

I'm 99% sure that the Competition Manual says teams are required to ship their Control Systems.

I don't have my rule book handy, so I can't quote the exact rule, but I can say that you DO have to send the ENTIRE robot, including the control system, out when you ship next week...

You have to ship your robot with both the Robot Controller and Operator Interface. You also have to include BOTH batteries. There may be some other reqiurements that have to come along. The exact rule is part of the shipping rules in the specific regional section (or nationals) of the rule book.

After reading what needs to be shipped with the crate...

- The complete finished robot
- The complete control system
- 2 Batteries, stored separately and securely

Anything else we can put is completely up to us... I think there's a weight limit too, but I forget...
