Re: Beware of R16 your robot design may be too big.
I don't recall any being handed out at Great lakes.

For our part, after arriving at competition, we found that the process of deploying our gripper caused us to exceed the 72" rule albeit for less than 1 sec., so we tied up the gripper and in the name of GP (and not wanting to be the source of a penalty) didn't deploy it for the entire competition. We could still run defense, and climb on other bots, so we still did fine, and ended up with the Sportsmanship Award. Went home feeling good about ourselves and the competition.

We fixed it, and had fun at Kettering in the fall.
