Re: Joystick Exception?
It seems that since the GDC Said:
Quote:
Unmodified CH flight joysticks are allowed per <R28>.
(Emphasis Mine)

And <R28> States:
Quote:
MECHANISMS from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions cannot be used.
(Caps theirs)

It seems that flightsticks we've used on our robots before aren't allowed. But my real question is: Can you buy things off of eBay, and is that allowed?

Thanks Again,
Blair

Pneumatics in a nutshell: Put together an elaborate series of pipes, canisters, cylinders, valves and hoses; then fill that system with highly pressurized air, and hope that it doesn't blow up in your face.
