Al-
What your describing is in complete contradiction with some other long time FIRST vets. I've taken both yours and their advice many times, so I'm at a sort of impasse. We haven't competed yet (this week at Bayou we will) but I'm moderately concerned our minibot may not trigger the tower every single time based on its similarity to minibots these other veterans have. While I don't doubt that most minibots will trigger the tower, how can we make sure the towers are triggered EVERY time?
