Re: pic: YMTC: Is 41 hanging?

I would say they were hanging... just because that rule quoted above is extremely narrow and should be revised. In any game, molecules (lol) from the robot's wheel/tread will be lost due to friction from the carpet... there will be banging, ramming into the other robots, etc, and some fragments will be left on the field... Just look at all the pieces/flakes under the ramp from last year's stack attack game. So based on that rule above, I would either have to say, no robot can hang, or I could say that if it's a situation like team 41, I'd count them as hanging. So what if a piece falls off. But too late to change that now
