Re: Team Update 1

This worries me that any robot that can't maintain a near-perfect center of gravity would be illegal if it tipped overmuch while scaling the tower....

Because if you only pay attention to the definition of the BUMPER ZONE a winch-bot is safe, and if you only pay attention to the 15" outside from a horizontal plane a winch-bot is safe, but if you must satisfy both then you're pretty much going to have to keep your bumpers level as if you were on solid ground if you want any hope of scaling the tower.

"Think it'll work?"
"It'd take a miracle."
