: Lights are cool :-)

: btw.. if you read the rules carefully, the bumper counting against weight isn't totally clear (or could be interpreted differently) about it counting against weight, because it needs to be easily removable to facilitate inspection, so do they weigh your bot with it on or off?

I thought I heard someone explicitly state during the kick-off that the weight of the
bumper does count. I have not seen anything in the rules which would lead to me
conclude otherwise. The bumpers can be weighed at the same time as the robot
even if they are not physically attached.


: New question as a double check- since materials used don't count against the material limit of the 'bot, that means if you buy the stuff you use from small parts, it doesn't count against your $425, am i correct?

That's the way I interpret rule M3. Of course, the cost of the material will count against
the $425 SPI credit if purchased from Small Parts.
