Re: Extending before finale?

Let me ask this another way...

Why would they have the rule if the base of the tower was NOT part of the tower.

How could you touch anything inside it ?? You are not allowed to come out of your frame perimeter extended vertically... the only thing you will be able to touch the tower with is your bumpers.... so ergo... touching the tower means your bumpers are touching the base of the tower...

So prior to the 20 second finale... your bumpers better be nestled up against the tower base somehow...

if you want to extend outside your frame perimeter...

Anything that happens within the frame perimeter is ok unless you are trying to control a ball above the bumpers...

I cannot see how this could possibly be interpreted any other way...

I may be wrong...

I have been wrong before...

There was that time last year when I thought I had made a mistake...
but I hadn't...

see you on the field
