Re: 2 gear autonomous

Kevin and Siri,

You both make good points and I agree that the manual and Q/A could be more clear on this subject. I took another read of both and it almost sounds like an alliance could do the following (not that I would recommend it) and still be within the rules and get credit for all 4 rotors:
1) fill rotor 2 with gears,
2) fill rotor 3 with gears,
3) fill rotor 4 with gears,
4) place a gear to start rotor 1,
5) crank rotor 2 to life,
6) crank rotor 3 to life, and finally,
7) crank rotor 4 to life.

I appears from my latest reading (ask me again later) that steps 5 through 7 could NOT overlap but 1 through 3 could and step 4 could be completed anytime before 5.

Thanks,
Steve
