We require that you don't have sharp edges that might cut someones hand but carrying a robot through the pits is allowed and that might break someones leg. |
Its a bit hard for teams that come from other places using crates and fedex to ship robots. Batteries and a half taken apart robot with bumpers are nearly 400 lbs. making a cart a requirement would not be ideal for such teams.
