Re: Robot handling on field

We have a similar issue - if we use the denso motor to grip the game pieces tightly, how do we release the game pieces at the end of the match? There is no way they will let us walk off the field with a tube.

As I read <R17>, it says we cannot activate the robot power system. A 9V battery across the denso isn't enought to move the motor, but it is enough to let you manually backdrive it.

Does anyone know if attaching a 9V battery to the robot after the match would be allowed?
