Re: Who is hanging and how?

If you can reliably hang and suspend another robot then I can see where 5 points is worth getting. The difficulty in doing so with a teammate that has never seen your robot or practiced with you or has properly anticipated how to hang from you seems quite high and is likely to limit the success of this operation. Thoughts??

yes, but allowing them to score two and then you hanging, scoring 2, gives you more seating points increasing your rank at competitions
