Re: clarification of rule <R44> on the "The Robot" section

Thanks Al. The hard part comes tonight, tomorrow and Friday, as we run all the wires between the various components. Due to an overwhelming desire to keep the robot under 17.5 inches AND still be able to do everything a robot could possibly do in this game, we weren't left with very much room to even put the electronics, let alone run the wires neatly and safely.

Our one saving grace for running the wires, however... due to the limited space, we spread everything out all over the place, and the speed controllers all ended up being extremely close to their motors. Coincidence?
