Re: Team Update 16 (2016)

I am actually glad the height limit has been implemented.

While we designed our "Eyes in the Sky" to be safe and quick to assemble, I can't say the same for every pole at CVR. Seemed like some teams were making them just because 254/1678 had one, with little consideration to the strategic advantage they may/may not have received. Safety was not always a priority with these rushed assemblies.

To be clear, our set up, which included a 27" screen, secondary 13" screen, and a go-pro on a pole, was completely designed and assembled before the event with safety in mind.

I hope future events will be safer with the new height restrictions in mind.

-Mike
