I can't believe the square diagnostic lights went away 8 years ago... that makes me feel old!
Perhaps it says something about how well the typical team reads the rules in that it was extraordinarily difficult to find a team that could successfully glue a 1/2" end cap onto a 12" long piece of 1/2" PVC and then mount it within 10 degrees of vertical on the top of their robot without drilling holes in it in 6.5 weeks.
Of course, 1276 spent our entire Thursday trying to put our flag holder somewhere the inspectors were happy with (
our entire superstructure was a big rotating linkage), so I can't talk.
What was the deal with 3 team alliances in 2002-2004. I know you still picked 3 teams, but were alliances required to play each robot once per round? Once per tournament?
