Re: Legality of Team 190's Mechanism?

I love 190, they make some crazy designs that just "WOW" (to quote them) me every time I see them. Even this year's robot impressed me in it's design and build. The only quip I have with it is the rules lawyering; Both teams I worked with this year initially had this idea, but quickly shot it down as it was clearly illegal. It's not like 190 was the only to think of it, just only the ones bold enough to challenge the rules on it.

Be sure to send them a resume.
