I don't remember seeing deployables as being illegal in the rules.....

Would be illegal to deploy and detach a barrier to keep the other team from driving into the endzone to take out tennis balls?

I can imagine a device with 1-2 motors (depending on speed) that could expand and block it off, then detach from the robot.

It'd definately be an interesting strategy.

Hmmm... Or something that expands and blocks half the center goal.... could use some fabric from the $50 non vex allowance.

Well i have 3 designs. 1 solely D design, 1 mega Offense design and an all around design. i have yet to figure out which to go towards. i've been very busy doing the college thing too much to think about this game.

Not to worry, there are plenty of us here to house a crazy spikey-multi-colored-hair guy from Canada for a day or too. We figure the someone who has her mind on someone and something else at the moment deserves all the support she can get from the rest of us! ;)

Hey the event is over! How about some results? :confused:

What I heard through the grapevine, but you know how rumors work... :rolleyes:

Chuck won - Dylan put up a good fight! :D

The deceptively simple entry from the student from East High surprised many of the competitors! (Yay for the underdog!) :)

After all of the trash-talkin', Alex had to rely on some last minute late night assistance from the competition (GP at its finest? Or the reason that Alex's bot didn't do so good?) ;)

Anyone want to fill in the details?
