Rule R11:

Any restraints (elastic bands, springs, etc.) that are used to restrain the ROBOT in its STARTING CONFIGURATION must remain attached to the ROBOT for the duration of the MATCH.

When I say box I mean the 38x28x60 box used during inspection not on the field. But the rule quote still doesn't convince me. I think they give the examples of springs and elastic bands for the intent of explaining that only items introduced to the field by your team fall under the catagory. We wouldn't be introducing the alliance station to the field lol.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!
