Re: pic: Seattle Cascade tubes.
We experienced tremendous difficulties at FLR because the tubes were much more inflated than we were led to believe they would be, even with the gauges specified before week one.
Now that we finally have our claw working well with the super-inflated tubes, I wonder if we'll have to modify it again when next we play...

The lesson I learn every year, and then seem to have to re-learn every year: never engineer too closely, because all FIRST specs are nominal, even if they aren't labeled nominal -- and if they are labeled nominal, they could be anything.
