Re: 1519 - One Dual-Config Robot or Two Robots?

What annoys me most is this....


If speed racer was simply the drive train of fezzik, and you could remove fezzik when you wanted to to keep only speed racer as your robot, I feel this would be allowed...

Rule <R114> claims THE (implication, ONE) Robot must be presented with all Mechanisms and that Mechanisms may be removed or reconfigured between matches. A Mechanism is defined as a COTS or custom assembly of components that provde specific functionality ON THE ROBOT.

So if fezzik were simply an outer "mechanism" it would be allowed and we would see fezzik and speed racer competing....

If you made 8 1 foot sections of bumper you could cover the bumper requirements of both the large and small configurations.




The response to me sounded like they were saying you are trying to bend the rules and I think thats outrageous. I think you guys did a great job trying to be creative and its sad to see that because of some wording of rules this isn't allowed.
