Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #412

OK, You convinced me, he is a pre-college student, he fits in the 120 lb weight limit, I might even go with the interpretation of the COTS definition that any team can obtain one from more than one source. Where I am drawing the line at is the legal power used on the robot, and more importantly hazardous materials. Drool aside, there are other things that can leave residue on the field...
[R08]
Robot parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the operation of other Robots.
Examples of items that will violate this rule include (but are not limited to):
A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct or limit the vision of any drivers and/or coaches and/or interfere with their ability to safely control their Robot

Besides, are you sure you can remove a game piece from him after the match is over?

(And you thought inspection was easy?!?!?)
