Re: Minibots not triping pole sensor but getting points

our team made our minibot to spec to be able to lift and support 4 newtons (4 apples) which is the weight of the bottom plate on the pole (every team should have known about this if they didnt). so everytime we climbed the pole we tripped the sensor and activated the lights on the top of the pole, so when other teams deployed their minibots and didnt trip the plate sensor on the pole but were awarded points we got pretty annoyed with the whole situation but we stuck it out and came in 3rd in the end.
