Re: YMTC: Redabot weighs 129.8?

A legal loophole to this would be: The drill is attached through wires to the main base of the robot, so it is part of the base. The point at which it disconnects would be the screws that hold it into the optional functions.

So what I've boiled all this down to is: the rules have no definition for what is a 'system' or 'function,' nor for determining what is a point of detachment and where that point is.

My opinion is that the drills should be connected to the functions, because the connection between the drills and metal is stronger than that of the drills and wires. I stick to this opinion, but I understand how it could be viewed otherwise.
