Re: M30?

For all those paying attention here out of state, the competition at the State Fair is a little different than other competitions. Basically, the guy running it looks at the game each year and comes up with a number of different solo challenges for teams to do, with each challenge worth points. Every day during the fair, a couple of different teams "compete", and the team that ends up with the highest scores "wins".

Since I already know most of the challenges at the fair this year (The guy organizing it really likes to talk when you drop the robot off for judging), I can guarantee you using M30 won't give you any sort of competitive advantage - simply put, speed isn't an issue. I can also pretty much guarantee you no one there will be comparing your robot to the official FIRST rules.

I do, however, strongly urge you to do appropriate analysis and testing to ensure safety with the new material. The event usually draws a large crowd of people who otherwise don't know about FIRST - we don't want their first impression to be of an exploding minibot.

Again, if you want assistance in figuring out the legality of the material for any of the Minnesota off-season regionals, I'd love to help out. I've been slated to volunteer at both the Roseville and Minne-mini off-season events for a while now.
