Re: do the racks move?

so in theory, if you have four rows covered with ringers, those can't, and probally wont be touched,

the best offense is a superb defense
Nice try. Did you read Section 6.2 The Rack yet? You can't move it more than 1 foot in any given direction. Also, you would have to have a drivetrain capable of moving 600 pounds at once (such as team 71's 2002 design, which is now illegal).
