Re: Interesting Q/A's

Two comments:

1. Use schedule 20 pipe -- it's lighter than Sched 40 or 80.

2. I wonder if a judge would really freak out if you built this with an ABS pipe instead? ABS is lighter and just as strong. It's not technically PVC, but then again, they already allowed 2.75-inch pool noodles, which are a clear violation of the written rules.

and a third for free:

3. Now that the robots have shipped, I hereby declare that FIRST Silly Season is officially open!
