Go to Post PS: When/if it gets to be too easy to build a machine that can accomplish a recent/typical FRC game, then I suspect it will be time for someone to unveil a harder game. - gblake [more]

Teams won't take into account that a) the bumpers are included in the cylinder, or b) the cylinder is always projected vertically from the floor.

You can't reach forward very far, or have your robot tip very much while climbing.
Well, with the 2013-01-15 Team Update and the changes to G23 and G23-1, I pretty much take back everything stated above =).

Which is GREAT!

...I even think Carnack's original prediction might need to be revisited thanks to this TU.

No way. 30 point hang is brutal. Those who say it is easy are not thinking it through or are way smarter than the rest of us ...
