Re: Team update 19
From helping with the Towers at the Tel Aviv Regional, I learned that the triggering mechanism is simply 2 pieces of aluminum angle approx. 1/4 inch apart attached to the upper and lower tower plates that make contact when the lower tower plate is engaged by the minibot and pushed upward. Triggering is accomplished by completion of the circuit upon contact.
