Yeah... good point on that. The work around of intentionally taking a penalty isn't really in keeping with the spirit of the rules, either, but was just something I'm throwing out there for brainstorming. Just like when a team shows up on Thursday weighing 150 pounds we all share our spare parts and tools with them to help them get back inside the weight limit, it sounds like here they need some ideas that can help them get back in compliance with G22.

What I had in mind for the first suggestion was something like the rather quick sketch I have attached here. Again, it might not be really in keeping with the spirit of the rules, given that there is a rule that pretty clearly states that robots are to proceed about the track in a counter-clockwise direction... and in this case the robot will not be "proceeding" but throwing some ideas out there is about all I can do to try and help 190 right now.
