kfgk14 is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Minibot

Regarding the comment about it weighing 15 pounds, there is no requirement that it weighs that much. If it was a project alone, it need not weigh very much at all.
I've read the rules, I just was wondering if there was anything further on the subject, and what other's interpretations where.
It says contact with the minibot above the deployment line is not allowed.
Given that there is an eighteen inch space for this spring fulcrum to launch the minibot, there may even be space for sufficient acceleration of this bot.
Further ideas?
