Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint

FTC currently encourages students to lift bowling balls way up high. There are many ways in which safety can be instituted in an exciting way.
Recall the initial velocity rules from 2006.
Quote:
<S02> Muzzle Velocity - No ROBOT may throw a ball with an exit velocity of greater than 12 m/s (26.8 mph).
As a reference, a ball traveling at this velocity when leaving the ROBOT at an angle of 30º from horizontal with no spin will travel approximately 35 feet. A robot that violates this rule will be considered unsafe per <S01>.
