We were approached by the head ref at our first event and told that our design was deemed legal by the GDC and we were not penalized during our few attempts at hanging.

We ran into an unexpected problem at the Orlando regional with bridge deflection not allowing us to hang during a competition match. While there we did come up with a fix that unfortunately did not get to be attempted in competition. We do believe we have the bugs worked out and will be hanging at the south florida regional in a few days.
