Is that correct, or am I misunderstanding something?


Also, this update seemed to state that whatever part touched the target must be within the 28" x 38" robot footprint, not extending out in front of the robot to touch it.
That is correct, given my understanding of the rules.

It's also mildly annoying, as I had the plans all laid out for a flyswatter on a servo at Palmetto. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles--or is it the way the tetra stacks?
