We noticed the extra support (not that it hindered our ability).. and also 157 discussing it with judges.. and they ARE removing it for the rest of the competition... only fair since it wasn't on any of the many blueprints...

Another thing.. there's a strip of "caution" tape on the edge of the aluminum strip on the bridge.. we've also asked FIRST to remove this because we have an optical sensor we use to judge whether the edge of our robot is too close to the bridge... FIRST seemed co-operative (because this also wasn't noted on any prints) and we'll see tomorrow morning if it's been removed...

I think FIRST did a good job.. and the day ran well.. 'cept for.. well.. the lack of heat!!
