: It's funny you say this, because I thought we were the only ones to accomplish this. We successfully dragged a stretcher with a robot in it into the endzone at KSC in match #8 of the qualification rounds.

: Jason

Although I agree the stretcher is a good idea it is not usually very practical, most robots really can't manuver the stretcher very well.

At VCU our alliance did use the stretcher in one of the final matches where we moved the stretcher, a robot on the stretcher, a robot pushing the stretcher, and our robot over the bridge all at one time. That was a little risky but thank goodness it worked.

As for the rumor about the points value change for the stretcher, I hope they don't change anything at this late date. If they do, the stretcher value should only be increased if it makes it to the end zone with a robot on it.
