Its nearly impossible for our robot to go beyond 78" as its 77.75 " unless damaged and bent upwards (unlikely) and if we modified it or tried to modify it and changed our strategy to now pull RC's off wall the rules of 78" high and 120lbs do not change. That's what specs in rules are for..to design within those parameters when in game on field to balance out the competition.

Not sure whats so hard for people to understand that BOTH 78" and 120lbs are absolute limits? They were by all accounts at the time in violation...that's the thing about regular math there is only 1 right answer. We see what happens when tolerances/limits are not followed in science....sometimes tragedy.

If the uproar was they were under 78" on the field I would join the crowd. Actually good this happened in Week 1 for every team to be made aware...and double check those two absolutes.

The answer would I be upset sure, who wouldn't?... would I understand YES totally, just as the 2nd place in Dallas alliance members already stated. Their responses should be your answer.
