Re: 179 Swamp Teasers

I love seeing cool out of the box ideas. I'm very interested to see what kind of effect you guys have in qualification matches and how much you jump on people's list because of the 3 robot balance for eliminations. Say you are a middle of the range scorer, how much higher do you go on someones list because of the 3 robot balance ability considering you haven't been able to demonstrate it in the qualification matches? Maybe you guys will try and demonstrate this ability during the practice matches?

I just have 2 concerns about the design that I'm sure you guys have considered but I do feel like I should bring up.
-Is the ramp 14 inches out when it sits on the ground or when it is at it's full extension? We have made a similar mistake in the past and it forced us to do a very big redesign.
-Is the part where your C shaped channel encounters the bridge the same on the practice bridge as on the bridge on the actual competition field? My worry is more about the bottom of the bridge than the top. A subtle difference could change everything.
