Re: Ruling on Robonauts Balance
I just hope this helps the GDC realize that there is a REASON these specific to design questions are asked in the Q&A isn't because we want to ask for design reviews, we need to know whether or not certain and specific robot-robot or robot-field element/game piece interactions are legal in order to build robots within the rules. Something that is vague and without formal definition is immediately something that needs clearing up. Although I personally agree with the GDC's decision as to the "grappling" associated with 118's mechanism, I would like to thank the Robonauts for a few things:
1. Pushing the envelope
2. Inspiring others to push the envelope
3. Hopefully showing the GDC why this kind of legality is an important thing to decide week 1 or 2 of build; not week 1 of competitions. Would this have gone on til week had that been when 118 first competed? That would be ridiculous... (it already is in my mind).
