Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.
This is a general warning to all who try to hurdle (we are feverishly designing right now and I have bruises on my head from beating it against the table):

1. EVERY year MOST teams underestimate how hard it is to manipulate the game piece. This year will be no exception.

2. For our team, this is BY FAR the hardest year to manipulate the game piece due to the 80" rule (it is up there without the rule).

3. Please, please make sure you are within the 80" no matter what as I see this rule being strictly enforced all season.

Don't say you weren't warned ...

P.S. - Thanks Lavery ... I will be sending you my hospital bill.
