Lifting is allowed...

To my shock and horror, lifting robots is allowed by FIRST.

To my knowledge, they have not wavered an inch on this point.

They have said very clearly that lifting & dragging is allowed.

Other than our unwillingness to believe that they really mean it, there is no reason for clarification on this point as far as I can see.

We can fault FIRST for many things (one or two of them even deservedly so), but not for lack of clarity on the robot lifting issue.

I am not expecting any more on this issue.

I don't like it, but I accept it and I design my robot accordingly.

Let's move on...

Joe J.
