Re: Climbing Rules
Seems like a fairly obvious strategy - hard to specify how you make it legal w/out opening up a lot of other issues. Related to it, if a part of the robot protrudes over into a third zone while hooking on - that would seem to make the entire climb illegal.
Other question would be do the level 1,2,3 plane protrude outside the pyramid as well? I'd assume so.
Also, would it mean that robots can be taller than 30"? Sure they need to be smaller than 30" to go under the pyramid, but if a robot were 40" tall and climbin outside, it would cross planes 0,1,2 at the same time, or planes 1,2 and 3 (i.e. a 35" high robot would cross the top two inches of plane 1, 30 inches on plane 2 and the bottom 3" of plane 3 at one point in it's lift.
It would seem you would have to be allowed in 3 planes at once as long as they are contiguous, or am I missing something? It's especially the case w/ a 54" robot or an 84" robot.
Maybe I'm just over analyzing this :-)
