Re: Team 100 Progress...

Hmmm....ok. I can see how that can be the case.

I recommend that you do what you can to educate the referees with respect to your robot's expected climbing sequence, and how it may seem to be touching three zones, but is indeed only touching two. Close up inspection during Thursday climbs may help in this regard.

We also are designing a corner climber, and we modified our climbing sequence a bit to minimize the risk that we did not get an invalid climb either through our own error or through a mis-perception from a referee.

Best of luck.

FIRST is not rocket science. But it is like drinking from a fire hose.
