Sounds reasonable. I mean most people would assume that sandpaper was illegal just because it is bound to hurt the surfaces. But this being FIRST, sometimes you just have to spell things out.

"Hey, Tom, the FedEx guy... you better hold off on that truckload shipment of coarse sandpaper to Kokomo." First, no negative points... then we can't have 10 different arms with all using the same motor... now we can't use sandpaper on our Skyways... waaaaa! It's startin' to get fun. Andy B. |

I say, call Tom again and have him ship you the truckload of sandpaper again, and have him ship you the finest sand paper there is in the world. Looks like we are getting a free robot wash from the Technokats this year!!! Let me send an e-mail to WRRF teams and we are all going to sign up for wait list at the regionals the Technokats are going to! Talk about building a robot everybody like! |

Man, if sandpaper was legal, i can picture it now. A team with sandpaper on it's treads or wheels gets into a pushing match, and as their wheels or treads spin freely, the sand paper does what it is designed to do, sand. With all that sanding, the robot sands a hole in the HDPE and falls in.

Hmm...could you have sandpaper on it during practices? You could put a nice spinny wheel on the underside of your bot and make like a disc-sander and grind down the HDPE before your match
No more smooth surface, no more problem ![]() |
