Re: New rule Clarification changes plans

Well, if a team is planning a fold-out ramp, I don't think they have to worry. As long as the ramp is only deployed at the goal, when attempting to score, there should be no issue, as it could not interfere with another robot. However, drives around with said ramp deployed at all times, it would likely be a violation.

Edit: I believe it would be illegal because the robot is giving an impulse to the balls by moving the hopper. Seems absurd when the update from FIRST causes their animation to be illegal...
