Run with that if you like.
Jonathon,
The point is that this is not a "hypothetical" Wildstang robot. It is the robot we used this year, fit into the example under discussion. (We weighed in at 130.00 BTW, it was more humid in Atlanta than in Chicago) Everything being equal to the virtual robot except the configuration when it hit the field. When the robot (under discussion) was weighed in, did it violate any rules?
