it would, however, be a ref's call. they would attempt to remove the red bot without disturbing the blue bot. after red's removal, it would be up to the refs to decide if blue was hanging or not. everyway I have ever heard a head ref explain it (at two driver meetings) is "If everything else were removed, would the robot be hanging." I think the answer is "yes" (at least in the picture in my head). unless for some reason blue's hooking aparatus is longer than 9 feet and after red is removed they touch the platform...then they aren't hanging. however, more than likely (again still using picture in my head) blue hangs +50. i guess we kind of agree...i must only have half a great mind...now to figure out which half it is...
