Re: [OCCRA]: VEX hanging time
Question: We have a question regarding the amount of time the VEX has to be hanging once the match is over.

Does the VEX have to stay off the ground for a specific amount of time after the match?

Here's our example. Our VEX can lift itself up, but once we cut power to it, the gears start to go backwards, causing our VEX to slowly drop.[/quote]

Answer:
The match is scored at the end of the Big Bot match. To be scored as a HANG you must be suspended at that time.

Hint: Mechanisms that travel "Over center" will not "back drive".
