Cool X File episode in the making???
I could not for the life of me understand how I thought 15 degrees was 45 degrees.

Now I have an explanation!

Unluckily for FIRST, I printed, but did not pick up from the printer the message about the 45 degree rule.

In the mean time, I went back to find the rule and learned that the rule was 15 degrees -- no biggie, it was early, I was tired.

OR MAYBE NOT ;-)

I have just gotten around to getting my print out.

It is a print out of message #566 -- NOT message #571 quote above by me.

It clearly states "45 Degrees"

But... there is no message #566 on the Yahoo site any more.

Hmmm....

Is this one for the X-files or what?

P.S. I actually think there is no real intent to cover up anything. I think that when FIRSTsnow got in this morning, the folks at FIRST engineering decided to change the rule (again). It had only been out for a few hours at that point (posted at 7:13pm on Sunday night), they probably figured nobody would even notice. They just reckoned without Dr. Joe looking over their shoulders ;-)

Ah well... no harm, no foul. JJ
