The bickering on the legality of 68's bot needs to stop.
I've said it before in another thread.
We are at a fork in the dicussion. One path is legal, the other is illegal. Nobody knows which path is which. Of course 68 is going to say it's legal, it's how they interpretted the rules. Of course some other people are going to say it's illegal, it's how they interpretted the rules.
NOBODY KNOWS IF IT IS LEGAL OR NOT. Nobody. Not the people who built it, not the people who are talking about it. You don't know because the rules are vague. Multiple Surfaces? HDPE, Carpet, Midfield Barrier, possibly Mesh (if arms get bent)... ok, does the rules state WHICH surfaces you can't touch?
My understanding was that you couldn't hold the HDPE and touch the lexan on both sides. I may be wrong, I don't have the rules in front of me, nor do I care.
Fact is, 68 made a great robot. No matter how much you argue, your say doesn't matter. Your being people For and Against it. It's up to the inspectors and referee's at competition.
