Re: Remarks of Hon. Michael F. Doyle

Re: 2010 Pittsburgh Regional
Was anybody else recording video of the event? I'm really itching to see qualification match 31 one more time, but unfortunately nothing from Friday afternoon got archived on Ustream.

Re: 2010 Pittsburgh Regional
That's exactly right... the video couldn't be clearer. The head referee's explanation of what happened was perhaps not as articulate as it could have been, but the call was correct, and she deserves...

Re: Placing the socer ball on it's spot
As seen here (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/23747), this "feature" was also present in the poof balls from 2006. My students didn't buy the explanation that dark colors are heavier. :p

Re: Team update 16
The bottom of the robot is not the same as the top, in terms of <R19>.

Re: Withholding limits and GP
So if a team brings a 64lb. robot without its wireless gaming adapter (thus missing the communication aspect that defines a ROBOT), they would be legal? It seems like it's easy enough for these teams...

Re: Legal Camera Pan/Tilt Mounts?
