Re: Are Limited Slingshots allowed?
I think that if the slingshot was mounted to the hostbot, and purely horizontal, you would be fine.
If the slingshot imparted any vertical motion on the minibot to gain an advantage in the race, or used energy stored on the minibot, you would have issues.
As with anything on Chiefdelphi, this is my unofficial interpretation, which does not hold any water at the inspection station.
