During 1st week, I think over 50% of >10pt climb attempts will (or should) be illegal due to robots breaking the 54" cylinder rule.

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.
