AGREED!!
OR a possible 120 pound robot falling 60"???
Again, frisbee throwing change affects us and many other teams. This is my 4th year with FIRST and every year these updates/rule changes are very frustrating. Every year we feel that our strategy plan is challenged by these changes and we do get pass the "initial shock" of the changes.
I also want to say this program has changed our son and our students' lives to the better to what we have exposed them too.

I agree completely. When the first robot falls and hurts someone (hopefully never, but there is always the possibility) are they just going to get rid of climbing? I doubt it. They will find a SOLUTION to the problem. I see no reason why they cant do the same for the problem they face now.
