Rule <R06>

In intresting new rule poped out when i was browsing through the manual.

The the robot manual, look at <R06>

You will notice how it says that all possible components of the robot must be weighed in and be under the 130lbs limit.

Now, let's say we looked at 111 from last year. The rules say "A team has decided to design its robot such that, before any given match, it may quickly change the configuration of the robot based on perceived strengths or weaknesses of an opponent team's robot." Now, the changeable(sp?) wings they had last year did not configure the robot differently. Therefore, only one pair of wings would have to be counted in the weigh in using this years rules? correct?

Just found this as something way new and wanted to point it out.
