Re: New robot rules at Peachtree

Daniel,
I don't think the email from Peachtree has done anything beyond what is open in R8 and what was reiterated in the Team Update. They merely have outlined what steps will be taken as an extension of the Team Update as a courtesy to teams attending their event. i.e. If your robot requires to be transported with stored energy at anything other than zero potential, the inspectors will assist you in making an interlock that prevents it's accidental release. As I have said before, a relatively few teams design their robot in this fashion and very few of those teams have no interlock in place at the present time. I think there were perhaps two teams or less at each of the events I have worked thus far that required this addition.
