Re: Einstein?

You sure EJ didn't say it was up to 494 (as the alliance captain) to make the decision?? (as in, the Refs didn't care what 254's opinion was. 494, as the alliance captain, was responsible for conveying the alliances opinion to the ref) I was there too, and there was a lot of confusion and a lot of hurt feelings... the bottom line was this... when we tested the ramps/platforms, at full lift, when 254's bot was on the platform, the top of the platform measured 11.75". When we attempted to lift the platform in an effort to remove any possible delfection, the height remained the same. Furthermore, 494 was not even able to climb up the platform at all! Their casters behind their rear set of wheels made it impossible to climb over the platforms 1" lip.
