Re: Vex contest from Exploding Bacon

Bill sent us an email about a bot that reached across from the robot base to pick up the object. I have updated the FAQ to specifically allow that to happen, I would love to see this bot in action. The FAQ says:

Q. Can a robot stay in home base and reach out to the objects and transport them across?
A. There is nothing in rules against that so it is legal. If someone can build a robot to stretch that far (about 12 to 14 feet) without falling over in the process and come up with a mechanism, that person should be rewarded, more power to them and I would love to see it in action.
