I have seen a lot of you guys saying about the rules. There is one thing that I noticed. The rules about damaging the field did not mean anything. How many times did you see when bins were totally ripped apart. I know that some machines (especially the limbo bots) had a hard time not hurting the field. To DQ teams for this reason, would be insane. If a team finds a way to push bins under the bar, or to distort the box to a more suitable position, all the more luck to them. I know that I tried in the beginning of the season working with that theory, of bins under the bar, and i seen that it could be done by the low riders, but knowing what our bot was going to do, i kind of forgot about the idea of it. I applaud all the teams that took the time to learn the different types of ways bins can be oriented and maneuvered under the bar.

What I always say, think of everything possible and plan to implement it on your bot, and plan to go against it.

Good Luck to all the teams at the invitationals.
