Re: "Load Bearing Surface"

This is bizzare, i think they should change the triangles to rectangles or squares. Look at this picture from the manual, although its specifically mentioning to the human player requirements; it gives a big O.K to the loading process. Now look closely the robot is stradling the trianlge. This is a big blunder by FIRST, they should have never used this picture, our team might be able to add a load bearing surface but what about the other teams do. FIRST should be more considerate about this. Even till now its not crystal clear as to what the rules are regarding stradling. I know FIRST has done a great job creating a spectacular game, but i think they should make it better by changing or atleast not conflicting with their own diagrams.
