Re: Team 1538 - 2012 Robot

Also don't be surprised if you get a violation for rule G21. Our team was at a mini-Regional, with the head inspector from the Wisconsin Regional there. We had a ball pickingup device, similar to yours.It extended partially beyond the frame perimeter. He declared that it was illegal, since the polychord was not contiguous. It was within the frame perimeter and then outside the frame perimeter, as it rotated, attempting to pickup balls. Because of that he said we'd be hit with a rules violation. We were forced to redesign our unit, so as not to extend beyond the frame.
