Well, I suppose just like 469 gets, we would get 1 penalty for extending beyond the height parameters for the normal robot size configuration, but the penalty that we get and the penalty they get would be cancelled out. Other then that, we are not breaking any rules by doing this. We would simply be able to extend our arm that we hang with because it can extend at an angle, which would therefore allow us to block balls above them and deflect the balls towards our alliances offensive zone.

I said effective. 2791 had a record of 15-12-5. They averaged 4.4 goals per match per alliance.They also did not ever make it to the finals. Finally, it does not look like they can hang. 2949 pwnage had a record of 18-8-5, we averaged 6.7 goals per match per alliance, made it all the way to the finals while facing harder opponents then that of 2791, and also can hang.

I think there were a lot of teams that had effective vacuums, but they accepted the rollers after they saw how dominant they were.

This is very true Sunny. A good example is Wildstang. We went to their practice driving event before shipping day, and they saw our vacuum and thought it was really cool. Sure enough when we showed up for the Midwest Regional, they showed up with a vacuum. Although there's didn't end up working as well. Lets just say that it felt really good to defeat them in the semi-finals.
