Re: Minibot Questions

Modified by TU #6
<G59> TEAMS must retrieve MINIBOTS from the TOWER quickly and safely without special equipment and while standing on the floor after each MATCH. Violation: The FIELD crew will retrieve the MINIBOT. A second violation may result in a YELLOW CARD.

It is expected that a MINIBOT will be able to be retrieved from the TOWER in less than 1 minute. If the FIELD crew has to retrieve the MINIBOT, they are not responsible for incurred damage to the MINIBOT. If a MINIBOT is deemed dangerous (i.e. in its design, or in the way the TEAM retrievese it from the TOWER), the Referee may issue a YELLOW CARD to the TEAM associated with the MINIBOT.

As to threaded rod, only if you can make it from...
H. Raw aluminum sheet, 90° angle, u-channel, tube, bar, that is not sold in pre-perforated or pre-punched form.
