Re: YMTC: Redateam gets to practice after ship?

Just to note, though, had Redateam fabricated a complete second robot (motors and all), the "tuning the autonomy" would have been legal...

Q: If we find changes we want to make to our software after the fix-it window, what kind of info for changes to be made at competition may we bring? notes about the change? flowcharts? pseudo-code? a printout of actual code (to be retyped)?
A: Everything you listed.

So goobergunch, go ahead and work on your code, you just have to retype it all at the event

While I wasnt sure about how I felt on ID1525 at first, I realized that nothing stops a team from designing an entirely new arm and all of the pieces after the fix-it window, buying all of the materials needed, and bringing it to the machine shop at competition to be fabricated... so I guess this is the same thing in the software world.
