Re: Pyramid Dimension Contradiction

Our team has spent hundreds of dollars (a bit under a grand I think) on building the Pyramid along with other field pieces. This is a major problem that needs to be addressed.

Not only is it out of the official competition spec, but the entire pyramid is completely unstable. The top twists around and is completely unsuitable for any kind of robot hanging activities. We will probably weld in cross-members to support it, but doing so could block our robot from climbing the pyramid-depending on our design.

Out team can't afford to throw that kind of money around if things that were supposed to be tested don't work.
