Minibot Questions

[mac]

To Eric, Team 330 and Al Team 111.
1. Can your minibot change shape as its going up the pole? We have are battery swing down outside the 12x12x12 dementions. Gravity takes over. Cocking the wheels on the pole. We want most of are weight on the bottom.

2. I have one local Lead Inspector say. Here is a 12x12x12 box. Set your minibot inside. Close the lid. Your good to go. Meaning to me, that while the robot is inside. It can rest on the sides of the box. I said, I don't think so.
You can not touch the sides. At a recent FTC event. The students were told.
Set your robot on the table right here. Down comes the inspectors arm. With a 18x18x18 inch box. Over top the robot. It better not touch anything. I feel, I will be inspecting the minibot that way. Which way is it Al and Eric?

P.S. Eric, I look forward to inspecting Team 330 some day. To see if the students have read the manual.
