Smile re:re:re:re:re:re:re:re:re:170 points

regarding the 'bot in both zones' policy, we have several fanatics on our team who are desparately trying to get an "extend-o arm" on our robot. So far we have two designs: a scissors-type thing that would have a wheel on the end (you may have seen a coat hanger that has the same principles) or some sort of telescoping arm with a wheel on the end of it (seeing as they have to be touching the zone.) Could either of these break the entanglement rule? I have heard some bickering on the team because of this, and i personally think that it is a really good way of boosting your qualifying points. the team idiot suggested dispatching a remote control car from inside the bot to scamper into a goal zone. you can see why he's the team idiot
