if the lower robot is touching a part of the chin up bar that classifies itself not hanging 0 points for the lower robot and the robot which is hanging on the already illegal robot well he gets 0 b/c he's not touching the bar.
I was not going to lean towards this but this should have been an issue at some of the already now past regionals
At the J&J Mid-Atlantic Regionals towards the end of the match 3 robots hung 2 of which had enough of clearence between any parts of the chin up bar that could be considered illegal. As for the 3rd robot well he was hanging on his opposing alliances robot and the points he tried to obtain were now void all b/c he was touching the bar.
The question I have now is same situation except if the robot is hanging on another robot can he deploy a "second Hook" to either side of where he is already at (we'll say about 2" to either side) and is cleared from touchin any illegal parts. And the way the second hook grabs the bar makes it look like the robot is being supported by the second hook and not the first. Question is would this be illegal or legal You be the judge another twist to this partiuclar YMTC.
I just want to say Kuddos to Natchez for coming up with this this would be an excellent test for those wanting to referee next year Thanks again!
