However, please review the following thread in detail. It would appear from your video that your appendage (like those of many teams) would be illegal per current GDC rulings.

Hopefully, they'll figure this out...and soon.

Great work and good luck!

How is their mechanism illegal? I see it as one solid appendage (see the solid bar that goes across the bottom. I see that rule that you can't have multiple appendages that come out connected by surgical tubing, zipties, or string and have some smart team say, "Well, it is one appendage because it is connected".

Great design we worked with a similar design for ball pickup but couldn't get a roller over the bumper to work but your car wash roller is amazing! We settled for a hopper on the ground that flips up like yours.

Can't wait to see this at BAE and CT!
