Re: items/devices/mechanisms hanging from robot

Diana,
This is a risky idea on many levels. Objects extending outside the frame for more than two seconds, metal to carpet contact, entanglement, etc. Students need to look over the rules several times before they begin to see them as a sum of parts. Your first stumbling block will be your first practice match when the refs disable you for one of the above rule infractions.
