Re: do the racks move?

The whole thing is quite heavy. I dont know if it is legal to grab it and keep it spinning (but we thought of that).

The spokes are somewhat rigid in place but if you jar them they will rock around.
G33, it is illegal to attach to any field structure, so no grabbing. and "robots may push or react against any element of the field, provided there is no damage or disruption of the field elements" so no, you cant purposefully move it
