Go to Post I would be kinda creeped out if I was one of the "famous" FIRST people. Why? Because no one is any different than anyone else in my eyes. Granted, some people stand out more, but that is because the other people might not have gotten a chance yet to shine. - Melissa Nute [more]

If you pick up the goal (the way you are talking about ie. wedge)you can only push it. Right? So if someone latched on to it and pulled it you would be, well, SOL! Right? or am i missing something?
Not if you latch onto it!

Hmmm...

Will they change it? Don't know....

...I am still waiting on a clear answer on whether and for how long we can make repairs/improvements/spares after the regional. To my mind this is a question that has been out there since early in week 1. We are now in Week4 and nothing...

Ah well. Place your bets while the ball is still in motion...

My Bet

My bet is that FIRST will apply the 72 hour rule to making replacements after a regional (Tuesday by 5:00pm). Odds 2:1

Any takers?

Woah, might want to clairify that, Dahl. I'm on the team and don't know what the heck you just asked.

Cool ummmmmm

that all depends on your wedge design, kacz100. personally, i have no idea what the "goal grabber" division of our team is doing, but who am i to say? you could just grab the goal instead of using the wedge and ignore the rule altogether...i thought this was supposed to be one of the simpler games?

We came up with the ramp idea early on in our design process, and were all set to build it when we heard that it was NOT possible. We scrambled to find a new solution, only to find out that it IS allowed now.

I think that a ramp is a simple solution, and can help out any team, rookie or veteran. It may not be the most complex solution, but coupled with a robust grabbing system, it can be a very effective solution.

The forum this year has been a double edged sword. You can get answers to your questions faster but many of those decisions are reversed later. Also, a problem I noticed is that the e-mail "digests" are not to reliable. I have probably not gotton about 5 of them out of the 42 or whatever they are up to now. I say go back to just the updates instead of clarifying the forum contradictions in the updates.
