Re: Structural Integrity of Competition Defenses?
At Granite State, the Low Bar fabric was ripped so many times that they ran out of backup fabric, and there were no fabric stores open nearby. So the fabric ended up being removed on both low bars,...

Re: 2016 Chairman's Award Winners
I can get Granite State and Reading in NE, I'll see what else I can do beyond that. I'll talk to Brendan M as well, I'm sure he'll want to help again.

Re: Scaling the Tower
I think so. At the district events, the most important things will be breaching, and capturing the tower. If you can do one or both of those things well, you have a decent shot at getting to the...

Same thing for us as Whippet says, our focus is breaching the defenses, then shooting low/high goals, then scaling if we have the time to develop it before stop day. I think that the best robots will...
