Thanks Matt.
Mike,
We had to weigh ourselves 3 times last year during our inspection to cover our 3 possible configurations. Depending on how things go this year, we may have up to 5 unique combinations that we will have to weigh in with. But I doubt we will sue that many throughout any competition. The combinations we use will depend on strategy and what is working well to help us win with certain partners.
Our modular components are:
- Tank drive
- 2 goal hooks
- Ball accumulator and shooter
- Ball plow/concentrator
- "go-home device"
Some of these modules change out very quickly - like the hooks. Others can take a few minutes.
The last two need to be finished at the competition and the "go-home" device may not be used at all. This depends on how refs call entanglement in previous competitions - we will be watching this closely to decide if it will be a legal device or not.
