Re: 2337 hung-2959 suspended

The deflector is a MECHANISM. The hanger is another MECHANISM, one which is not designed to deflect balls.
The hanger and the general part of the robot above are part of the supporting structure for the actual mechanism, the deflector. There is a 'director' on one side of the deflector, but it is about 2.25''

Did you ever strengthen up your vertical bars?
In a case of weight, we had to choose between that and the deflector:
Deflector: Potentially many points
Vertical bars: 1 more point per robot
If we can find the weight, it is something that everyone (including we) absolutely wants to see. I'm personally lobbying for it to get done. We'll see in Atlanta.
