Re: How did teams think of using the 'reverse curl' to get on the bar?

For 1511, the concept had come up in the original brainstorming, but was not initially selected. After watching teams compete at our first regional and struggling to get a consistent hang with our designed mechanism, we scrapped the first design and spent the next week on the reverse curl retrofit.

At our second regional Thunderfoot underwent a dramatic transformation on Thursday. I'd say that we relied heavily on the success of other teams' reverse curl engineering!
