However, I would ask FIRST and make sure it is OK. I know of a team that just cleared a risky strategy with the event organizers, then FIRST found out and said their idea was illegal the day before the competition. So, make sure it is OK with FIRST!!!
you wouldn't perhaps be referring to 190's ball swinging bot, or 1519's Speed Racer/Fezzik incidents, both in 2008, for FIRST Overdrive, would you?
