Re: Car Nack Predicts 3/06

I apologize for not following every Q&A thread, but didn't FIRST say that the ball exit velocity was going to be judged based on going X distance when fired at Y angle?

It seems to me that this should be the test.

A team is supposed design robots that meet this test.

There are 100's of ways to cheat, but we don't plan on teams cheating.

Teams could sneak in extra fix it window hours or fudge accounting or or or.

I think that most teams will try to follow this rule if they are given a way to know if they are in violation.

A simple rule that is easy to verify seems to me to be the best friend of folks who want to see teams play by the rules.
