Re: "Load Bearing Surface"

Andy, Erin, etc. basically to anyone who favors clearly touching the loading zone triangle.

What about thoughtful's post (#14)?: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...8&postcount=14

From the first day that I read the rules, the image that FIRST put in my mind (and showed in their rules) was that covering the loading zone triangle with the robot base was acceptable. If you watch Dave Lavery's animation, the first time an HP is shown loading on a robot, the little flat blue robot is clearly over the zone but you can't tell whether or not it's touching it.

Maybe a new rule is necessary to make it more clear to the referees as to whether a robot is "in", but this one just isn't it.
